Because I start applying new code to branches based on -rc3. In the past
I used different -rc's for the topic branches (usually the latest -rc
available when I started applying to that branch), but that caused silly
merge conflicts from time to time. So I am now basing every topic branch
on the same -rc, which is usually -rc3. Rationale is that by -rc3 time
the kernel should have reasonably stabilized after the merge window.
