My feeling is that we shouldn't wait 3 months between betas like we did for
alphas.  We don't have to wait for big changes, just put out new betas
around every month or two.

Now the question arises:  when will 1.0 go out?  Personally, I'd like to
wait until JAX-RPC is finished.  Some time this summer, I believe?

So if someone hits a severe problem in the beta after that, would we
recommend them to use the nightly build to pick up a fix? That doesn't seem
very helpful to me as they will tend to get more than they bargained for.

On the other hand, I totally agree that we should avoid making minor fixes
to the beta after it has shipped, so I guess I'm really talking about
emergencies, which will tend to override preconceived policies!

The other consideration is the timing of beta 2. If this is going to be
soon, then anyone with a serious problem on beta 1 is likely to be willing
to wait for beta 2 if they don't find a nightly build appropriate.
