The flipside of this argument, is identify the release versions in each
list.

I agree that has the potential to be a problem, but I would expect such a
user to report the full version number rather than truncating it.  Also, I
would expect them to try and upgrade to the released version before
reporting a problem (especially since we nag them every time once it is
released).
