It will impose extra work on those building the final bundle, but as Christoph votes for it too, I think we should use it.

For the October update, I can add a change that sets `DEFAULT_PROMOTED_VERSION_PRE=` (with a respective JBS bug). But we'll have to be careful about this line when merging between dev and rampdown repositories either way. Let's see how it'll work out.
