In a way, this concept is akin to nightlies (which, by the way, are
being built at https://nightly.rxu.io/ (though the latest ones are
failing...)).
Maybe we should have a pipeline where we promote builds based on
nightlies. Dates will also help us make sure that the numbers are
increasing (and also mean something). Then, we can say something like
"we consider build 20160101 beta quality" and release it as is.
It might be easier to manage that way.
