Yes, we should extend the docs. Up until recently, I've always seen the
Bintray artifacts as something vm-dev people need, but it turns out that
there are some users downloading these artifacts as well.

We could promote the pre-release to be a proper release, then the link
would automatically point to it. Instead of manually adding a link to
pre-releases, I'd much rather like us to fix the release process.
