 I just got notifications from two sites (so far) which "updated
 automatically to WordPress 5.5.3-alpha-49449" .. I went in and re-
 installed 5.2, but I do not have any directive to install automatically
 any development release.

 Many of my functions files across many sites have


 {{{
 add_filter( 'allow_minor_auto_core_updates', '__return_true' );

 }}}

 Which has opted me into minor releases, but not development releases...
 for several years.

 I just added


 {{{
 add_filter( 'allow_dev_auto_core_updates', '__return_false' );

 }}}

 Which I hope protects me from development releases here on out on those
 sites. But I worry I will have to spend my day tracking down all sites to
 manually re-install 5.5.2
