Alpha releases still match include

Medium Severity

The new include value <6.1b1 is meant to drop Django 6.1 alphas and betas from tox, but _prefilter_releases treats include as a PEP 440 whitelist with prereleases=True. Under that ordering, 6.1 alphas are still below 6.1b1, so they remain eligible (including as latest_prerelease) while betas are filtered out.

Bug: The version specifier "<6.1b1" for Django incorrectly includes alpha releases because alpha versions are considered less than beta versions, contrary to the goal of excluding all 6.1 pre-releases.
_{Severity: LOW}

Suggested Fix

To correctly exclude all Django 6.1 pre-releases, including both alphas and betas, change the version specifier from "<6.1b1" to "<6.1a1". This will filter out any version equal to or greater than 6.1a1.

Location: scripts/populate_tox/config.py#L125

Potential issue: The configuration `"include": "<6.1b1"` is intended to exclude Django
6.1 alpha and beta releases from the test matrix. However, according to PEP 440 version
ordering, alpha releases like `6.1a1` are considered less than `6.1b1`. Consequently,
the `_prefilter_releases` function will include these alpha versions, tracking them as
pre-releases to be tested. This contradicts the pull request's goal of excluding all 6.1
pre-releases, causing unintended Django alpha versions to be included in tox testing
when they become available on PyPI.
