What?!?  There have been catversion bumps between the REL?_?_BETA1
tag and the REL?_?_0 tag for 8.2, 8.3, 9.0, 9.1, 9.3, and 9.4.
(That is, it has happend on 6 of the last 8 releases.)  I don't
think we're talking about any policy change here.  We try to avoid
a catversion bump after beta if we can; we're not that reluctant to
do so if needed.
