Does it mean "if there has ever been a release do X" or "for every release do X"? For some controls the former makes sense (e.g. OSPS-SA-03.02) while for other controls the latter makes sense (e.g. OSPS-QA-02.02) to me.
If it's the former, what's the point? Why would I follow this checklist for a project that will never be released? If the release hasn't happened yet, of course I won't do release-related tasks until there is a release.
This problem is very similar to #398
