[jboss-dev] EJB3 Release Schedule

[Andrew Lee Rubinger]

The "GA" is implicit.

This way, we don't have redundant/confusing qualifiers.  Our next 
release will be 1.0.1.  Then 1.0.2.  Otherwise would we do:

1.0.0-SP1?
1.0.1-GA?
1.0.1-SP1?

..and after that:

1.0.0-SP2?
1.0.2-SP2?

So we'll continue along with the 1.0.x series, all GA, until our next 
Betas are 1.1.0-Beta1, etc.
