[IronPython] IronPython 2.6 RC 1 Release Hidden

[Keith J. Farmer]

As for the question at hand, though :)
 
I'm not in blanket agreement here.  I'd agree for some releases to be valid dependency points, but things like RCs, betas, obsoleted third-level versions -- not really.
 
In the first two cases, those are bleeding-edge releases.  If you take a dependency on them, expect to bleed.
 
In the latter case, I wouldn't expect API differences, or other breaking changes unless they represented critical bug fixes.  Again, I wouldn't want to support a dependency upon something horribly broken.
 
In light of the above, then, I'd propose keeping the following versions:  
 
    max(x).y.max(z)[.max(b)]
 
and strongly consider keeping:
 
    [max(x)-1].y.max(z)[.max(b)]
