I like this idea!
We could have continuous delivery into prerelease versions of extensions.

Excellent idea, except I've just run into microsoft/vsmarketplace#310

As noted in the referenced issue and in the docs: increment the minor version (possibly directly after a release), push all the preview/rc versions to the marketplace with an incrementing patch version and when preview is over set the patch to zero and increment the minor version. This way an "odd" minor number will always be a stable-release, while an even number is used for pre-releases.
