[bika-dev] Bika version numbers

[C. <ro...@up...>]

I went against my gut feel to make RC (Release Candidate) releases
before making a stable release. I regret that this wasn't the right
choice but at least I can motivate now why we should use them. At the
moment we will probably only end up making a stable release around 1.1.2
or 1.1.3 because we're still fixing bugs on the 1.1.0 branch.

It would have been better if we made 1.1.0 RC1, 1.1.0 RC2, etc and then
finally release and announce 1.1.0. This is why I think it is better:

- We have a numbering scheme that tells developers, testers and users
that they can start testing.
- People will associate major releases will stability.
- It makes a lot more sense to promote a major release in the media than
announcing a minor bug fix release.
