Well, there were two reasons we ended up with a beta for 12.4.
Primarily it was to allow a VSCode plugin update.  But there was also
the thought that by having a voted beta, it can be more widely
publicised and get testing of newer features before freeze.  We're not
meant to publicise the non-voted beta / rc builds elsewhere than this
list.

However, I'm not sure the 12.4 beta was early enough to make best use
of this, and perhaps neither will the 12.5 if sticking to schedule?

Could consider a vote on the first build at freeze instead and
allowing that (as beta or rc1) to be publicised wider for testing
instead if we do want that?  IMO it might be good to have a beta / rc
build that can be linked in on the website, etc.  OTOH it's some extra
work for the RM to deal with.

Yes, and also the module spec version increment?

Best wishes,
