I think that level of 'protection' might be going too far. You'd have to
be pretty dim to run an upgrade to a pre-release without knowing what
you were doing.

If we had a GUI tool or a notification thing, sure, it'd make sense to
'hide' pre-releases in those. But I don't think it's really necessary to
do this in a CLI tool where you already have to explicitly specify the
version you're updating to.
