The update_status module reports 5.x-y.z as update for a 5.x-y.z-dev development snapshot! Is this intended behaviour? It actually is confusing, because a development snapshot is usually more recent than a release, not? The module should compare the cvs string of all files with the cvs version in case of a ...-dev module. The current handling only makes sense for stable releases IMO.

This is an intended feature.

1) If you're using a -dev module because no officially released module exists, you'll know when one is created.
2) The module is encouraging people to use official releases.

There is a feature request to stop checking modules (so you can tell it not to check your -dev modules) that hopefully will be filled in the near future.
