Ok, then I agree with your suggestion.

No, I don't really want to have the -plX suffix, but we will have to be 
careful if the tags and release names do not match.

Michal suggested that a quick fix to 2.8.0 be named 2.8.0.1, I agree. 
But the version having a 2.8.0.1 in the filename would have a 2_8_0_3 
tag, because of the potential of two RCs and one final?
