I'm really curious as to why STABLE became BETA and not RC before the
pending RELEASE. STABLE, by definition, != beta, is it? Just when I
thought we had settled on a consistent naming scheme, someone finds the
time to throw a wrench in the works...

I'm having a hard time telling people to install STABLE (which I prefer to
recommend) when they end up with BETA and come back asking why the hell I
made them install a beta. [And try telling management why your latest
"upgrade" resulted in a (shriek) "beta."] It just doesn't look good.
