[Zeek-Dev] Zeek 3.0.0+ "master" versioning process change

[Johanna Amann]

Hi,

I generally like this - the only thing that I am not sure about is the 
alpha label.

I get that it works great with alphabetic ordering - but for me alpha 
tends to signify some kind of test release. Could we perhaps make it 
-dev? :). If we then use -rc instead of -beta we have alphabetical 
ordering again - and to me this tends to represent what we are doing 
better in any case…
