I'd hesitate to fix the number at 90 (or any other specific number),
because sometimes .90 is not close enough.  We could say .100, but
AFAIR that happened only once or twice in the history, so it would not
be helpful.  The problem here is that the number is not determined by
how close we think we are to the release, its correlation with that is
very weak.
