The second swimlane shows the default set to a release candidate (RC) version for testing and tuning. The RC version contains 1.4 rules and RC rules. A note indicates that after testing, the default is returned to the recommended static version. The third swimlane shows the creation of a static version 1.5 from the rules in the release candidate version.
