[racket-dev] Release for v6.0 has begun

Here's the full comment:

   The version string has one of the forms:
      X.Y
      X.Y.Z     Z != 0
      X.Y.Z.W   W != 0
   where each X, Y, Z, W is a non-negative exact integer, Y must not
   exceed 99, and Z or W must not exceed 999.  Y>=90 means that this is
   working towards {X+1}.0, and X.Y (Z=0, W=0) is an alpha version for
   {X+1}.0; Z>=900 means working towards X.{Y+1}, and X.Y.Z as an
   alpha release.

Then intent is that when Z and W are 0, the string form of the version
number is just X.Y, not X.Y.Z.W.

How about this clarification?

         ... and X.Y (i.e., Z=0 and W=0, so Z and W are
   omitted from the string form) ...
