My understanding is that we change to the next version immediately after release of the previous one. Whether that is 5.27.12 or 5.28.0 is a good question - if we aren't planning on a 27.12, then this was the correct time for 28.0. (I'm looking at what is currently near the top of https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/shortlog?pg=30, where the commit for the switchover to 5.26.0 was v5.25.12-7, and we started releasing RC's a month later.)

As for how it was done, https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/999f678663d12737388c2458d58b37af627911d0 did it.

Sawyer X, what say ye? Is my information correct?
