administrivia: Candidate Recommendation and Last Working Draft

I am wondering why we have the new "Last Working Draft" milestone 
<https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/milestone/3> rather than just 
continuing to use the CR (Candidate Recommendation) milestone?

Note that the description for "Last Working Draft" links to a superseded 
(old) version of the W3C Process doc rather than the current Process Doc.

In the current W3C Process Doc <https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/> 
(of 1-Feb-2018), the section on Candidate Recommendation 
<https://www.w3.org/2018/Process-20180201/#candidate-rec> states:

   "A Candidate Recommendation corresponds to a "Last Call Working Draft"
   as used in the W3C Patent Policy. Publishing a Candidate
   Recommendation triggers a Call for Exclusions, per section 4 of
   the W3C Patent Policy,..."

Thus, unless I am misunderstanding this (which is possible), CR maturity 
level now equates to what was formally known as "Last Call Working Draft".

Our description for CR milestone 
<https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/milestone/15> says...

   "Proposal for Candidate Recommendation Candidate maturity level."

..though it links to the same superseded Process doc -- I suggest we 
update that process link for the CR milestone and just use the CR 
milestone such that our milestones match the current process doc.  Plus 
update the CR milestone description to say..

   "Proposal for Candidate Recommendation Candidate maturity level
   (equivalent to Last Call Working Draft").
   See <https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/>"
