Could do and I don't have strong feelings on it but I thought it was worth identifying the betas and decided to maintain a separate beta port as netscape places timeouts on the beta and removes the "professional edition" features so if 4.5 were to be released, it might be good for the fact to be very obvious? Besides, I could see the two having to have different patches to configure components not in the beta at some time and so having a separate beta directory might prove convenient. On top of that, the .beta might be the port "watched" by the leading-edge junkies while the other is "watched" by the stable-junkies.
