I find both above failing in minimal surprise ... and adding unneeded
complexity.
What is confusing about:
Alpha-1, Alpha-2 ... Alpha-N
Beta-1 Beta-2 .... Beta-N
RC-1, RC-2 ... RC-N
Released.
Why on earth do we need a 'candidate' for a release candidate, or an
alpha or beta candidate. We have ordinal numbers on them ... so just use
them.
.. if RC1 is lacking - fine - we'll move to RC2 ... etc.
My opinion of course :-)
