Current vote - 0.8.2.0-RC1 or 0.8.2.0?

Hello Apache Kafka community,

Is currently active vote for 0.8.2.0-RC1 or 0.8.2.0?

If the vote is for 0.8.2.0-RC1 why isn't that reflected in artifact
metadata? Version should be 0.8.2.0-RC1, 0.8.2-RC1 or something similar
(0.8.2 beta release had "-beta" and no ".0" suffix - see
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/kafka/kafka_2.10/0.8.2-beta/ )
If it stays like this, and final gets released later with same 0.8.2.0
version, but different content - repositories, both local and remote will
get polluted with junk.

If the vote is for 0.8.2.0 final GA release, why call the vote candidate 1?

Also, version related - none of the previous 0.8.x releases had ".0"
release i.e. 0.8.x.0. Is this change in version numbering intentional?

Kind regards,
Stevo Slavic.
