Well, its utility is only in "this version is considered immutable".
The Ruby guys use a convention of 1.2.dev and the Java/Scala/Clojure
guys (because they all share most of the same toolchain) use a
convention of 1.2-SNAPSHOT.

We could just do that. Users would expect a version of 1.2-SNAPSHOT to
possibly change, while expecting that eventually an immutable 1.2
would be released.
