Since we'd been there before I take it the .0 in here (which isn't in the
changes to the other two files) is deliberate now? Clearly I continue to
think it shouldn't be put there together with -rc.

But in docs/process/{release-technician-checklist, xen-release-management}.pandoc .0 is used.

So probably then we have to update docs correspondingly to avoid confusion.
