Drush is recommending "Preview" release over latest bug-fix release

[stpaultim]

A user just reported in the forum that upon running drush up core drush is recommending the preview release of 1.18 instead of 1.17.4, which is the expected update version prior to release of 1.18.

drush up core

Current Backdrop Version:    1.17.3
Proposed Backdrop Version:    1.18.0-preview

"I was expecting version 1.17.4
Why is that? I cannot see any way to make it get the security version."

You can use the --select flag to work around this.
