Great Job @cbmarcum. While this explains our versioning scheme, it does not address ASF 'release' confusion.

@jamesfredley @matrei Should we add something that clarifies why we put out releases this way? I think @jamesfredley linked to Spring's guide as one example; should we mention that we base our versioning off Spring too? I'm also ok with only adding this and addressing these concerns outside of the code.

README.md Outdated

## Versioning

The Apache Grails versioning scheme is defined in [RELEASE.md Appendix: Versioning](https://github.com/apache/grails-core/blob/7.0.x/RELEASE.md#appendix-versioning).

I think you can get away with just the following here, which saves us from adjusting the branch going forward.

Thanks, I'll make the adjustments.

I think adding a sentence stating that we follow the Spring release versioning scheme, with or without link, and that we release soon after each Spring Boot release, would add clarity. And a sentence distinguishing between a RCX release and a release candidate from the ASF release process perfective.
