6 There is no need for such a switch, just add new snapshot using the long _rc.
7 Once you do it you will have to keep using it until version bump,
8 e.g. (low to high):
9 1.0_rc1
10 1.0_rc000120070101 (newer snapshot of rc1)
11 1.0_rc0120070102 (leading zeroes are omitted)
12 1.0_rc000320070201 (here the date doesn't matter as long it's 8 digits long)
13 1.1_rc1 (yuupi version bump and we can use short _rc again)
