This is no real detail. How can -rc0 break a naming scheme for a robot,
when -rc1 doesn't?

Btw. you don't seem to have any interest in my suggestion and obviously
Linus, Greg and Andrew also do not have any interest in something like a
-rc0. So i won't create any new noise about that topic from my side.

Thanks anyway,
