Stemcell version handling has issues with 'latest'

[fearoffish]

Running an upload-stemcells command using latest as the version fails

# fails
genesis snw-jvandyke-lab do upload-stemcells ubuntu-xenial@latest

# succeeds
genesis snw-jvandyke-lab do upload-stemcells [email protected]

I am not so sure latest without a major version should work. If we have two or more majors, what does latest actually mean? Which stemcell line do you want the latest of?

[fearoffish]

Latest...means the latest xenial stemcell available, surely? The latest major, the latest minor.

[norman-abramovitz]

Then you could end up with alpha or beta releases on future major versions since each major release has its own latest

Correct -- you must specify the MAJOR, but you can specify the minor as "latest". This is operating as intended. Leaving this open to fix documentation so behaviour is clear.
