Spring 5.3.0 and 5.3.1 versions published to Maven central missing .RELEASE suffix

Affects: 5.3.0 and 5.3.1

The latest 5.3.x versions published to Maven central and the Spring release repo do not have a .RELEASE suffix. Prior GA versions since 3.x are all named MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.RELEASE:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-core https://repo.spring.io/release/org/springframework/spring-core/

Are the 5.3.0 and 5.3.1 versions GA releases and will this be the naming going forward (without the suffix)?
