Should I use .90 in the tags and not .9000? I'm asking because
-#define RELEASE "stable"

+#define RELEASE "development"

we use .90 versions during development. (I mistakenly assumed that
this was something Fedora-specific.) I switched to .9000 to avoid
collisions with point-release tarballs from a long-lived release
branch branch.
Why don't we change VERSION to 2.26.9000 to make the tags match?
The choice of .90 was always arbitrary.
I see nothing but benefit in using a larger development revision
number.
Testing showed no problems caused by .9000. I'm going to install the
attached patch.
I will use .90 tags for the older development branches, and the .9000
tag for the new branch only.
Thanks,
