[CodeBlanch]

What package is using rc9? We moved away "rcX" in favor of "rc.X" a long long time ago because it broke sorting on NuGet, possibly also broke resolution. @alanwest do you recall the details?

My suggestion is switch the package in question to use "rc.X" format.

[Kielek]

Stack exchange redis and WCF. If we release 1.1.0- beta.1 then manual action from end users will be needed. Nuget will not update utomatically rcX to beta. If we are fine with this, we can just make new releases.

[CodeBlanch]

I think switching to beta is the best way to go. I would suggest 1.9.0-beta.1. We also moved off "1.0.0" versions to align on SDK versions IIRC. Example of this being done: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib/blob/6f3ae2dd61a3fa8e520b1eb626d6de2873bab9f0/src/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNet/CHANGELOG.md?plain=1#L115-L128

/cc @cijothomas in case he remembers the details with more fidelity.

[Kielek]

Update: only StackExchangeRedis instrumentation is affected. Triggered: #1972.

When merged/released this can be closed.
