I don't understand, why does the package name for Linux say preview2?

    apt-get install dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-003121

Isn't this the final release?

The preview refers to the tooling (CLI, VS etc.) [https://github.com/aspnet/home/wiki/roadmap#schedule]

Even if this isn't the final release, I'm confused why they would include version numbers in the package name at all. One of the reasons of having a package manager in the first place is to avoid things like this.
