Read through it, looks good.

One change (maybe it's not a change but the intent of the text already) 
I'd like to propose is :

     * when  first  release  candidate  of  2.2  is released, modules are
       versioned as 2.1.90.T

I think that when we decide to release an RC1 in the near future, all of 
the modules should be versioned 2.1.90.T.
So the "90", IMO, should be used for modules *before* going into RC1, and 
after releasing RC1, we should use "91".

For those curious, I asked Frédéric why he used 90, and he said that he 
wants to allow for more than one RC, but not more than 9 ;) Which is a 
good point.

Other than that, looks good.  Maybe a sample timeline of a project could 
be added to make it just a little clearer.  This is the sort of stuff you 
don't want to have to think hard about when you want to do a release ;)
