I think the point of the nomenclature is in the decimal place (pardon the pun.)
X.Y denotes a major release, with new features and other nasties. So they get a DP to start with.
X.Y.Z are simply bug fixes, and perhaps a minor change here or there. Being based on a stable release they no longer require the testing of a major release and so these only need RC releases until they are "deemed" stable.
If you look down the download page you will see that (at least starting with LC6) this is the case.
