Ben Finney, and lo! it spake thus:

And while I get an excuse to do this, I do still we'd we'd dump
"beta".  By any lifecycle terminology I know, beta implies something
winding down to a release, in at least a feature slush.

These aren't betas, they're dev snapshots.  AIR, it was sheer accident
that 2.1b1 (or was it 2.0?  Whichever was the first branch that got
the 6-month-cycle treatment) got called 'beta' instead of snapshot,
and that was intended to be remedied next time around...
