Roger that - the first pre-release version number will be .90 if
it is made immediately after cutting the branch, or .91 if made later.

I'm still unsure whether making a pre-release right after cutting
the branch brings value or not. On the one hand, it's easier to
test, and in many ways more meaningful, a pre-release than something
downloaded off a branch. On the other hand, sometimes we know the
branch is missing some changes that will come later. Maybe this
needs to be a case-by-case judgement call. In the case of the 6.8
release cycle, we could have made a first pre-release immediately.

All in all, I'm thinking that we should make it a policy of creating
the pre-release immediately. The only case where this would provide
no benefit is when we know a major piece is missing, but in this case
the branch shouldn't have been cut in the first place, no?
