 Say there is a TBB and corresponding PT bundle both with version number
 X.Y.Z-alpha-1. https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions will
 say:
 {{{
 [
 /* ... stable bundles ... */
 "X.Y.Z-alpha-1-MacOS",
 "X.Y.Z-alpha-1-Windows",
 "X.Y.Z-alpha-1-Linux"
 ]
 }}}
 When the X.Y.Z-alpha-2 TBB is released, the file changes to
 {{{
 [
 /* ... stable bundles ... */
 "X.Y.Z-alpha-2-MacOS",
 "X.Y.Z-alpha-2-Windows",
 "X.Y.Z-alpha-2-Linux"
 ]
 }}}
 If we haven't built new corresponding PT bundles yet, those will still
 have the old version number X.Y.Z-alpha-1, and users will get a blinking
 Tor button telling them to upgrade. However no upgrade exists for them
 yet.
