Just an outsiders point of view, best expressed with least
words as...

 Nov 07, kde4 rc1 = rc1
 Dec 07, kde4 rc2 = rc2
 Jan 08, kde4.0.0 = (rc3 then party)
 Feb 08, kde4.0.1 = (rc4 massive debug)
 Mar 08, kde4.0.2 = (rc5 deep breathe)
 Apr 08, kde4.0.3 = (rc6 with Qt4.4)
 May 08, etcetera
 ...
 ... 08, kde4.1.0 = (nirvana)
