    Release process: clarify what does not need to be adapted (refs: #16600) · 9b428474
    intrigeri authored
    Given we're going to have a bunch of bugfix releases in a row, recent RMs have
    been tempted to set $NEXT_PLANNED_MAJOR_VERSION to one of them, assuming that if
    they didn't do so, the rest of our release process doc would be buggy because
    said doc assumes strictly alternating bugfix/major releases. AFAIK this is not
    the case: to the best of my knowledge, the release process doc makes no such
    assumption anymore (it used to, but we've been in such a situation already
    and had to make the doc support it).
    
    So clarify that this part of the release process doc can be followed blindly.
