My understanding/recollection of the process is to only announce release canidates on tomcat-dev, then after some time a vote is taken on a/b/stable, then the resulting version is announced via jakarta-announce with the appropriate rating, and the web site was updated. Lately the 5.x process seems to be to put release canidates on the website and announce them on a variety of lists before a stability rating vote is taken, cf http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=109378770730995&w=2 Was this a concious policy change or is it up to the whim of the RM?
