I meant a proper mainline release like 6.7 or 6.8 to make it obvious
that this does not mean a "pre-release".

I actually had used the term "proper mainline release" earlier in a
draft, but a quick search on the net showed that this is not really used
out there. "stable mainline release" is not popular either, but seemed
to be a better match; I also considered "final mainline release", but
that felt odd.

It feels like there must be some better term my mind just stumbles to
come up with. Please help. :-D

Ciao, Thorsten
