Hi Alex,
I’m currently performing the verification.
I have a question related to the checksums and signatures section of the 
verification guide:
https://kie.apache.org/docs/community/verify/#checksums-and-signatures
The guide states that for a release candidate like 10.0.0-rc1, the artifacts, 
checksums, and signatures should include the RC suffix, for example:
incubator-kie-10.0.0-rc1-sources.zip
incubator-kie-10.0.0-rc1-sources.zip.sha512
incubator-kie-10.0.0-rc1-sources.zip.asc

However, for some shared artifacts, the filenames do not include the RC suffix. 
For example:
apache-kie-10.2.0-incubating-bpmn-vscode-extension.vsix

instead of something like:
apache-kie-10.2.0-rc2-incubating-bpmn-vscode-extension.vsix

Is this naming difference expected for shared artifacts, or should RC-specific 
artifacts always include the -rcX suffix?
Thanks for the clarification!
Best regards,
Yeser
