After having seen everything else that was proposed and shot down,
this or something very similar (i.e. "PRE-RELEASE" or "PRE_RELEASE" or
whatthehellever) is probably the best alternative to "BETA".  I can't
see any disadvantages to it other than it might still incur some
hysteria in some newbies, but not nearly as much.  Just my $.01 of
course.
