If you think it's not clear enough, I can add some wording to the criterion (phrasing suggestions welcome) or add another description section below it.

I think the only problem with that is that in the criteria pages I tend
to use 'current release' to refer to the release under test. You might
need to search through the criteria pages for other occurrences of
terms like "current" and "previous" and reconcile those, too -
basically come up with some consistent terms and make sure they're all
used consistently throughout all three pages.
