Actually, it doesn't really break the convention. The openoffice-2.0-devel=
=20
port is based on the latest OO source tree. This means that it's pointing=20
towards 2.1. Since the source is always changing (in development), it would=
=20
not be a good release candidate (for testing) prior to a 2.0.X release.

In simpler words, the RC are correctly put in openoffice-2.0 so that people=
=20
(like me) can test and point out the problems of a frozen code tree (or=20
release candidate) prior to the release of 2.0.X, contrary to -devel which =
is=20
always in development.

Hope this explanation helps,=20
Nicolas.
