Description
Describe your environment
python 3.9
pipenv
Steps to reproduce
When trying to use some of the instrumentation packages (e.g. opentelemetry-instrumentation-psycopg2) only a pre-release tagged versions are published. This imposes an entry barrier to any pipenv using project because pipenv doesn't allow for per-package pre-release versions which in turn complicates project setup and dependency management configurations.
What is the expected behavior?
A NON-pre-release tagged x.y.z versioned packages to be released to avoid hitting package manager related issues and therefore improving usability of the instrumentation packages (e.g. opentelemetry-instrumentation-psycopg2@0.33).
What is the actual behavior?
Only a x.y.zb0 pre-release packages are available (e.g. opentelemetry-instrumentation-psycopg2@0.32b0).
Additional context
I am aware this is a tooling issue and a pipenv specific defficiency but in general I believe it may lower the barrier of entry as pipenv is used quite frequently.

Research direction
Start by checking the published versions of opentelemetry-instrumentation-psycopg2 and the other instrumentation packages affected by this issue, then review how their releases are selected and published. Done means the relevant packages have non-pre-release x.y.z versions available on PyPI and no longer require pipenv projects to accept pre-releases.
