Re: [development] Security releases and the update status module

In general, I don't have a strong feeling about whether or not certain strings like 'beta' in the "official release" should be allowed or prevented. Drupal project page itself does that, but it is a special case. Views did this for a while but I believe that Earl now regrets that.

What I regret was that -beta showed up as an official release in earlier versions of Update Status due to the way the information was bundled. We've since rectified this, but it took a lot of work. Since this is the second time you've brought this up -- and this time after I corrected you last time -- please stop using this mis-informed example. What you're implying is not the case.
