So one of the pain points we've had previously is that even the release variable can inhibit upgrade testing, etc. What we decided back then (pre-ASF) was that pre-release builds were always 3.0.0-0.#somenumber - the 0 denoting that it wasn't a release - this could easily be 3.0.0-0.rc1 provided that each later release of 3.0.0 is something that will evaluate higher that 0.rc1 (such as 0.rc2, or 1) --David
