We could hardly call it "beta" if there's not a fix-bugs-instead-of-
invent-features period beforehand. I'd be willing to cut a "barely
alpha" release on June 16th ... but to me "beta" means "we have some
reason to think this might work, rather than eat your data". The
"this will likely eat your data" phase is alpha testing ...
