All is well, but… the 1.2 is in beta right now. We do to set a minimum-stability, to avoid unexpected effects, so instead we allow less-than-stable on a per package basis by specifying stability flags like @dev or @beta as needed. Now, the 1.2.0-beta3 version of the demo site-package requires any version of typo3/neos-seo, but we have never tagged that package so far. Thus it is only available in dev stability, which is not allowed…

So, when Christian explicitly required "typo3/neos-seo": "dev-master” in his composer root manifest he allowed the dev stability to be used.

Proper solution possibilities:

- we tag the package as a stable version
- we tag the package as some beta and allow @beta in the root manifest
- we just allow @dev in the root manifest

We could link the versioning to Neos itself, at least in the major/minor numbering. Opinions?
