The distinction between version and release seems very artificial.
All releases are assigned version numbers.  All version numbers
correspond to a release of our software.  We have a strong distinction
between major branches, release branches, and releases in our existing
releng documentation, but I've never seen any other attempt to pry
apart 'release' and 'version'.

I agree it should be improved or the second line should just be
removed.
