Revert "Auto-advance date of the next tag (#2428)"

[ddbeck]

This produces a bunch of needless notifications for release watchers on GitHub. I think there's a way to work around this, but it needs some testing first.

This partially reverts commit 766b40e and #2428.

Were you thinking about a daily pre-release?

[ddbeck]

What I want is a continuously-updated release, so that it's easy to get at artifacts for the head of main. That is, I want to be able to curl https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features/releases/download/next/data.extended.json to always have the latest release data.

The existing workflow does that. However, the date never changes (previously, it appeared as if the next release was stuck in September or so, even though it changed several times a day). Deleting and re-creating the release fixes the date, but (misleadingly) makes it appear that there's a "new" release on every commit.

A little more detail here: #2068

I see!
You could generate GitHub Artifacts with a workflow for main.
... and use GH CLI

I'm superseding this PR with #2454, which ought to have the desired effect.
