I find this confusing. Are we talking only about CVS tags or also about 
the naming of the downloadable files?

I prefer if users clearly see what they download:
phpMyAdmin-2.8.0-rc1
phpMyAdmin-2.8.0
phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.1 (used to be 2.8.0-pl1)

So I don't like the idea of 2.8.0.2 being a final one. This said, I see 
that MailScanner (http://mailscanner.info) are releasing their version 
4.49.7-1 as their stable version (maybe this is their patch level 1 for 
the stable 4.49.7) but I don't like it. Maybe it's just me?
