Aren't all the -pre's pre-finals? And what if there is a big bug found in the -final, it will obviously be followed up with a -final-final?
I like the ISC's release methods. The do -rc's (-pre's would be fine for the kernel as it is already established), each -rc fixes problems found with the previous. When an -rc has been out long enough with no more bug reports they release that code, WITHOUT changes.
