Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:13 mcs]:
 > So, I think it will work if everything stays within the hardened channel
 (but it is a little strange to encode the "hardened" concept in the
 version number).

 I am fine not doing that as long as the user sees clearly that they are
 using the hardened version and that it is basically our current alpha. One
 thing I thought about was using just a version number like "5.5a3"
 internally which should be fine as we are on a different update channel
 but amending this to "5.5a3-hardened" in the UI. Not sure how hard that is
 but it sounded more complex than just using "5.5a3-hardened" everywhere.
