As a convenience, maintainers of popular actions (e.g. actions/checkout) maintain a shorthand major version tag (e.g. v1) that points to the latest major version release. We recommend using this same shorthand for our release automation actions, but the tag has to be updated manually. We should automate the updating of this tag, which ought to be simple enough.
