1. Mars SR1 and SR2 will be renamed to Mars.1 and Mars.2.

This is to avoid the misperception that new projects can't be added to those update releases. RC1 - RC4 for these update releases will probably be renamed to something like M1, M2, RC1, RC2, with *M2* being the cutoff date for adding new projects to the train.

These labelling changes have not yet been pushed to the wiki with the Mars schedule [1].

2. Neon will have 3 update releases.

Where Mars and before has only had 2 SRs (update releases), Neon (Eclipse 4.6 / 2016-2017) will have a *3rd* update release: Neon, Neon.1, Neon.2, Neon.3

Documentation is still in progress in the wiki [2].
