    Maybe I'm not following this correctly...
    
    We have a branch named 8.0.0-BRANCH.
    
    In that branch, the version has been updated to be 8.0.1-SNAPSHOT.
    
    And if/when we do a release on that branch, that 8.0.0-BRANCH branch
    will have an 8.0.1 release in it.  And presumably layer, if we need
    it, an 8.0.2 release.
    
    Shouldn't we name that branch something that more clearly indicates
    it's not just the branch for 8.0.0, but rather it's the branch for
    all 8.0.x maintenance releases?
