 Looking at the code for get_current_major_wp_version, it does the
 following checks:

 1) Is there a define set
 2) If not, what version is WP.org running
 3) If that version is NOT a stable release (i.e. has a - in the name),
 drop it down

 The problem here is that value is checked when seeing if a plugin is
 tested up to the current stable version, and some developers want to
 update their code once they've tested against Beta releases. This is a
 good practice, and should be encouraged, however as it stands today, their
 plugins will throw an error if the version is higher.

 This should be changed to factor in a +1 version or to allow for RCs... Or
 be something we can edit without messing with the define
 WP_CORE_LATEST_RELEASE
