1 This is a valid argument for a single postfix with a lower order than alpha,
2 but not a reason to add everything what's out there. I don't see the need to
3 match upstream's versioning bit by bit. Honestly said I've never understood
4 why our order is alpha, beta, pre and not pre, alpha, beta, which would fix
5 the issue and match more closely what happens in the tree. Changing this
6 might break the one or the other dependency, though. Last but not least to
7 add that I consider adding snapshots of regular releasing upstream projects
8 as a waste of ressources.
