If the package is not popular there is even more reasons to rely on the upstream's judgment and hard mask betas. > Please notice that 'beta' is not the same for each upstream.

Until you have explicit "go for it" from upstream or there is no real pressure to use betas, please, hard mask them. > Or maybe you're fine with them because they don't put 'beta' in their PV? I'm fine in case upstream released package for general usage and we use them. I'm not fine in case package name suggests that package is for testing but we push it on users. Beta is beta. And for the sake of discussion I already had not so nice talks with upstream about Gentoo and beta versions we push on users... So this request is not out of the air. -- Peter.
