You want to follow edge, until the next release is available. Which is contradictory. From my experience I have hosts on edge, which are always broken somehow.... (that's the point of edge!) and hosts that are still on 3.7 because I forgot to update them. Are you asking to have a script to update the MOTD to say "version X is now available... to upgrade, run apk -U (super)-upgrade?" Something like Unbuntu does - tells us when there is a new release available? I'm just asking. I think its an interesting question.
