How about:

...
- final (new release)
---------------------------
- alpha + build number
- beta + build number (as soon as there is a release manager / we are
working towards a new release)
- rc1, rc2, ... (release candidates built or approved by release manager)
- final (new release)
---------------------------
...

If we agree that the next version should be called for example 5.2, it will
be called 5.2 all along the release process except if we decide it should
be a major release. Then we do the renaming in or after the release
candidate phase. Example: 5.2 alpha-X, 5.2 beta-X, [ major release decision
], 6.0 RC1, 6.0 Final.
