I guess whatever works if upstream agrees. And I see it is clear from the

Too late now, but in future, put the digit "0" in front of the pre to make
it possible to supercede it with a higher version#. If you had started with
1.2.0pre-1, you could have rescued the version# here by numbering the final
1.2final or some such.
