That does not make sense. If a package is available on the repo and can be 
installed or update directly with apt or yum, it has to be the final
release package, any other statement must be flagged as RC or beta. Why don't 
you add RC flags on this package if it's not ready to publish?

I plan to install a new cluster with ceph-ansible, I don't have to take care of 
the release number as soon as it's the latest package available
on the official stable repo. Even on a short period, an « almost ready but not  
completely full tested » packages can really have an impact on
production servers, especially if not announce previously.

Best regards,
