IIRC we used pre because older versions of 389-ds-base (RHEL-5 and older 
Fedora) provided its own SELinux policy and we needed this to be 
available before our own policy was installed.

I have hte feeling that pre can be removed altogether.

While you're updating the VERSION you may as well change the whole value 
to 3.0.99 or something unique.
