Could you please use 'rc' versions suffix instead of 'ea'?

See original GitHub issue

Hello guys,

Recently two ea versions were released: 2.8.9-ea-0 and 2.8.9-ea-1.

I use Renovate for automatic dependency updates and this tool treats ea versions as stable. I opened an issue about that (https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/issues/7836), but I’d say that ea suffix is not that common and much more tool can treat such versions as stable.

I suggest using rc version suffix as much more stable.

Agree. Just a small preference for alphaN (eg. alpha1) instead of alpha-N (eg. alpha-1). Or rc0 vs rc-0.

Maven should be able to transition between alpha and next digit.
