This is what I'm figuring ... if we roll and send out a beta1 right off,
more ppl will look at it and report bugs then if we just say 'hey, its
frozen, check it out' ... as I've said before, to me, beta is "we're
getting ready to release, let us know what is wrong so that we can fix it"
... its at the RC level that we're saying we believe we have all the
issues worked out ...
