[cle-release-team] JIRA Version Maintenance

[Beth Kirschner]

Hi Neal,

   One thing that Anthony has done in the past, following a release, was to remove all the JIRA alpha, beta & release-candidate tags, and consolidate them into one 2.9.0 release. When you delete a version in JIRA, it offers you the option to change the deleted version to another version (e.g. 2.9.0). I think we should continue doing this so that the version list is less cluttered. Let me know if you'd like some off-line help on how to do this. Does anyone else think we should _not_ continue with this practice?
