Primarily it was to allow a VSCode plugin update. But there was also For the purpose of VSIX release and its more frequent updates and testing, it is not necessary. I proposed an extra NBLS VSIX release some in May and nobody objected: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/netbeans-dev/202105.mbox/%[email protected]%3e<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/netbeans-dev/202105.mbox/<[email protected]>> Jaroslav and me are going to do one VSIX release mid July. So if this can save Release manager time and work then 12.5 Beta is not necessary due to VSIX.

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. We still need to validate signature snapshot for 12.4 before this. Yes, and also the module spec version increment?
