I thought about this, too. But then I wondered: do we really need this? Why 
would we check anywhere if this is e.g. beta2? What if all versions since 
beta1 (alpha1? rc1?) internally say they are 4.10.0 as number (for bugzilla 
they should indeed use their string version, but that's another story). Who 
would need to distuinguish between a rc1 and a final release component (beyond 
bugzilla)? Since the API must be the same anyway, and working around certain 
behaviour of a rc1 compared to something else is bogus also, no?
