Misleading nature of Livecode numbering

As we are discovering bugs in 6.1.1 then to number it as a "done deal" can
give the wrong impression.

I suppose ??? that releases with only 2 numbers (e.g. 4.5. and 6.1.) are 
to be taken
as 99% bugless.

However, after a series of dp releases and re releases end users could 
be lulled into
a sense of false security once the "no suffix" release comes along.

Therefore I should like to propose that releases such as 6.1.1, even 
when they have passed
thorough dp and rc phases should carry a 'B' at the end.

Richmond.
