A lot of threads pop up these days about the quality of beta releases. 

Wouldn't it be a good idea to differentiate between different stages of
pre-release?

E.g. Aplha, Beta and RC (Release Candidate).
Or maybe just use the two of them (Beta and RC or Alpha and Beta) .
Right now it seems that 7.4 is Aplha quality and 7.3.4 is RC quality.
That would make it a lot easier for would-be testers to decide when to
jump in on a version.
I know that google is pushing the limit of what can be called
beta-versions, but that's their problem. 

It could be as simple as a (locked) sticky in this forum, stating what
kind of pre-release state each version is considered to be right now.
Make it a small routine to assess the status once per week or so.
