Title:
  Tag releases as stable, rc, beta, alpha, milestone, snapshot

Status in A Lightweight SQL Database for Cloud Infrastructure and Web Applications:
  New

Bug description:
  We should tag our releases with one of the following so it is obvious
  what type of release it is:

   - stable
   - rc
   - beta
   - alpha
   - milestone
   - snapshot

  Of the above, "snapshot" should be default and has the meaning of not
  being a release. In the current build system this would be everything
  that has a 4 digit version number. Example: 2012.01.07.2489 would
  become 2012.01.07.2489-snapshot.

  The other tags would be used with their common meanings together with
  a proper release (ie you did a bzr tag, make dist and uploaded a
  release somewhere). Meaning of "milestone" is "none of the above" ie
  less than alpha quality.

  Currently the version is deduced from bzr tags and bzr revno
  information automagically in m4/pandora_vc_build.m4. Note that just
  starting to use tags like 2012.01.07-beta will not work, because then
  anyone building a snapshot later would end up with something like
  2012.01.07-beta.2499-snapshot. But with luck only minor changes are
  needed to current pandora magic.
