That would involve changes in the C programming to determine if a new
version was an upgrade. And it would not give a neat solution for the
real (though slight) problem of exactly which was the last commit
included in the build - see my other email

In which case, you could adopt the 2.0.x idea as in my other email,
where a literal "x" is used to mean one of the unstable series. You
would do the same amount of hand setting, just not giving the file a
specific micro number.
