Yes, but this way you could tag together the DATES of the releases. I.e.
when you have new stuff in 1.6.1B you can place a safe bet that this won't
be in 1.6.1, while you have to look through the release announcement of
1.6.1 to see around which time of -current 1.6.1 was created and which of
the features/bugs went into the release branch.
