Hey Robert,

just thinking a little outside the box here:

A "snapshot" is something rather specific for Maven, and less widely
used in other ecosystems like nodejs/npm or afaik docker hub.

In nodejs/npm developers use "next" as the tag for the current head of
the main branch.

And as docker hub refers to tags as well, maybe it makes sense to use
"next" here too?

Best,

Dirk
