As for the question at hand, though :)
I'm not in blanket agreement here. I'd agree for some releases to be valid
dependency points, but things like RCs, betas, obsoleted third-level versions
-- not really.
In the first two cases, those are bleeding-edge releases. If you take a
dependency on them, expect to bleed.
In the latter case, I wouldn't expect API differences, or other breaking
changes unless they represented critical bug fixes. Again, I wouldn't want to
support a dependency upon something horribly broken.
In light of the above, then, I'd propose keeping the following versions:
max(x).y.max(z)[.max(b)]
and strongly consider keeping:
[max(x)-1].y.max(z)[.max(b)]
