What I got from the announcement is that it's targetted to the following people: workstation users, tinkerers, folks who are using some snap of 3.0 in production already for a new feature, and those that can work their way around problems that didn't come up in the beta test stage. As for why it's released? I'd guess you can't be in beta forever. There's always 2.2.8 if you are attached to that branch for it's stability.
