Simple error, "release", should be "releases".

I don't know what the question was, but the answer doesn't seem to reflect reality. Bruce.

We can change "core" to "release-engineering" though.

I think we should change "core" to "release-engineering" too. The original PR was that "release" should be "releases". The reason for that seems clear to me. Since they are going to be releasing more than one version, we say "The RE team only releases when...", instead of "The RE team only release when...".

State Changed From-To: open->closed I ended up rewriting about half of the FAQ in question, but it does have your grammatical fix in it. :-) Thanks!
