LibreOffice just displays the server's response.
So the server response needs to be fixed to properly identify my current RC1
as 3.5.1.1?

If LO sets two update channels the server would only report updates at (or
even display) the w level (using the x.y.z.w naming) to those who
deliberately choose to be on the Beta channel and would report only higher
updates to all other users.

Can this be done?

IMO, that would be indeed a good move.

Regarding implementation, I guess we could have a checkbox in the Update preferences dialog, which would allow the user to opt in or out of betas. Or this could also be a drop-down list with three channels to choose from:
* betas/RC's
* releases
* conservative releases

This would make the request for update have one more parameter. Should be quite easy to implement, I think.
