@ x-cimo. A soft-release can be considered a release candidate. Most of the time there aren't any major problems and a SR does become the final GA code. Things are a bit different in the case of 8.200. Quite a few bugs weren't found by testers late in the beta, so these were in SRv1 and a later SRv2 was released to fix one issue. As you will read in another thread by Angelo, it is now expected that 8.200 GA, with even more fixes built-in, and 8.201 u2d GA will be released late next week. These will fix many of the currently existing issues. Following shortly after that will be the 8.202 u2d.
