Another idea:

   {
     "current": false,
     "eolDate": "2031-11-08",
     "firstRelDate": "2026-10-14",
     "latestMinor": "beta1",
     "major": "19",
     "relDate": "2026-05-14",
     "supported": true
     "upcoming" : true
   },

I am in favor of adding alpha/beta/rc/ in json in some form.

Thanks
Yogesh
