The version of ezplatform that gets installed by Travis to run uses git with a branch name set in composer.json.

If it could use composer & semver instead, it would have several advantages.

Taking current ezplatform & repository-forms v1.9 as an example, during development, we can require ^1.9@dev, and it will install master (thanks to the branch-alias). Upon feature freeze, when tagging 1.9 beta1, we don't need to update it before we branch out 1.9. All we have to do is update master to require ^1.10@dev once ezplatform branch-alias has been updated.

Beta and rc requirements being written only to the tags themselves, we will have the minimal set of changes.

This at least applies to repository-forms, but can be used by any ezplatform package.
