+On Mynewt, `newt` always fetches a versioned MCUBoot release, so after
+the rc step is finished, the release needs to be exported by modifying
+`repository.yml` in the root directory; it must be updated with the
+new release version, including updates to the pseudo keys
+(`*-(latest|dev)`). Similarly `version.yml` must have its `repo.version`
+key updated with the version number being released.
