+   * The problem with the prerelease is that if the test runs for both the stable and the prerelease,
+   * and the prerelease has a breaking change, then the stable will fail.
+   *
+   * If we update the the starter to match the prerelease, then the stable will fail.
+   *
+   * This means that if there is a breaking change in a prerelease, we will ALWAYS get a warning 😄, which defeats the purpose.
+   *
+   * A solution would be to have a separate "prerelease" branch that is updated with the prerelease. And the CI runs on that branch.
+   * However, Noir hasn't yet reached a state where, for example, there is ALWAYS a prerelease newer than the stable.
+   * Sometimes the stable is the last one, and there is a prerelease buried somewhere that never got the honor of being promoted to stable.
+   *
+   * So for now, we will just ignore the prerelease.
