I was looking for an upper bound and where we got to was that 3 was historical practice. I don't think we discussed 2 or 4 in any detail. |

| :::note How many dev releases until starting a release candidate? | ||
| Usually, we release 3-4 dev releases before switching to the alpha release `a0`. This means we usually release `dev0`, `dev1`, `dev2`, sometimes `dev3`, and then `a0`. | ||
| Usually, we release about six dev releases (aligning with the desired stable release cadence) before switching to the alpha release `a0`. This means we usually release `dev0`, `dev1`, `dev2`, sometimes `dev3`, and then `a0`. |
