[Rdo-list] Packstack tagging

[David Moreau Simard]

I hit "send" a bit too quickly.

I'd go indeed with the OpenStack cycle milestones, so for Newton:

<master> .. 9.0.0b1 <-- milestone1
9.0.0b1 .. 9.0.0b2 <--- milestone2
9.0.0b2 .. 9.0.0b3 <--- milestone3
9.0.0b3 .. 9.0.0rc1 <--- rc1
9.0.0rc1 .. 9.0.0rcN <--- rcN (if necessary)
9.0.0rcN .. 9.0.0 <--- release
