In the general case, indeed we don't always know what that version will be. Thankfully, we only need this variable when preparing a RC for a major release, in which case all the RM needs to know is 1. the version number of that major release (the RM has to know that anyway); and 2. the version number of the major release after the one the they're preparing (in general we have a release schedule for the next 6-12 months, which includes this info). So let's only set this variable when we need it, i.e. when it's rather easy to find out what its value should be: as kibi said, right now we have no idea what will be the major release after 3.17.
