I added the following to the `local.conf` to enable the Mender 2.0.0 beta, after I upgraded from Mender 1.7.0.

```auto
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender = "2.0.%"
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender-artifact = "3.0.%"
PREFERRED_VERSION_pn-mender-artifact-native = "3.0.%"

```

Whether the above steps are valid for production release of Mender 2.0 too? I have seen in the blog post that, the Mender 2.0 will not come by default.  
What else I need to change if I already using Mender 2.0 beta and want to use Mender 2.0 production client?

PS: A small note on how to move from beta (Mender 2.0 client) to production (Mender 2.0 client) (with required configurations) will help everyone to understand it clearly 🙂
