I don't think thats what Christophe proposed(?) and I don't think we
need to have two booleans for this. Just one genericly named boolean
prop is fine.
FWIW, I think we are overthinking this. Lets just choose a name and go
with it even if its not exactly correct ('pre-release') or there is a
small chance for some confusion in future ('snapshot').
