My take is
- one should not package beta/rc versions
+ of course, one must, for dysfunctional upstreams that release a
beta and never release the final, but gdal follows the rules
+ one packages them to test but not publish; I mean "should not
package/distribute"
- people building from source should be able to deal with things like
this, just like at any other time between releases
- the less changes the better, once the beta->rc->release train starts
which leads to don't worry, don't bump. Especially if it's an API/ABI
addition. The real problem is changes/withdrawals anyway.
