Hi Jacopo,

Maybe we could add an explanation on top of the download page, to make things more clear. From
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Release+Plan#ReleasePlan-GeneralReleasePolicies

We could say

<<Release branches are created once per year, so far in April . We use the same release numbering scheme than Ubuntu (for instance,
9.4 means released in 2009.April).>>
