>From my original scheme of things if this is infact the beginning of
beta for the next 2.2 branch release it should now become known
as ``2.2.6-BETA''.  When you are done with beta and it becomes the
release it goes to ``2.2.6-RELEASE'' for the 1 day you build the
actual release (I use to just do this in the copy I had checked out
to do the release build, never comminting it until I was sure that
we had a ``RELEASE''.  After the release bits are rolled it should
then go to ``2.2.6-STABLE''.

In summary order of events are:
	2.2.5-STABLE	What we had until you declared ``BETA''
	2.2.6-BETA	What should be in the tree at this moment, if
			infact we are in the BETA test phase.
	2.2.6-RELEASE	What you commit to the tree right before you
			lay down the release tag with cvs.
	2.2.6-STABLE	What you commit 2 minutes after the tag operation
			completes.

Got it?  Does it make since?
