Drop the '2.'. What would make you go from 2 to 3 and realistically, is
it likely to happen?

In any case, if you replace the '-rc' suffix with just a number it will
be interpreted as 2.x.y.1 is better than 2.x.y which is a nonsense.
The "-rc" nomenclature makes it clear that the release will be 2.x.y
