This is not true. For example, we released LO-3.3.3-rc1 or 3.3.4-rc1 as
final. Also sometimes needed more release candidates, for example,
LO-3.4.1-rc3 or 3.4.2-rc3.

Also I am sorry but I do not understand your logic. "r" is shortcut for
"release candidate". As I said, we did not want this in the about dialog
because users were confused. IMHO, it does not matter what number we use
behind (0,1,2,...). It still means release candidate.

Or did I miss anything?
