Can we tag the beta0 as 3.4.99.0 in addition to 3.5.0.0 for now? That shouldnt
hurt.

As we wont have a 3.5.0 rc0 we could silently leave the 3.5.0.0 tag where it
is, but would never need to tell anyone about it anymore.

Having:
 3.5.0beta0 => 3.4.99.0
 3.5.0beta1 => 3.4.99.1
 3.5.0rc0 => nonexistant, published rcs start at 1
 3.5.0rc1 => 3.5.0.1

If someone asks about the 3.5.0.0 tag, we could tell them to just ignore it
without lengthy discussions.

Well, people could still ask why our rcs start at 1, while our minors and
majors start at 0 and we _could_ answer that with "tradition" as OOo did so
too. That would not be the whole story as 3.X.X_m0 was the branchoff point at
OOo (quite a sensible convention), in which case our 3.5.0.0 is slightly of the
mark.

Anyway: Could we at least please double-tag 3.5.0.0 as 3.4.99.0?

Best,

Bjoern
