Yup. Would be great if every beta rollout would see some kind of final build. Then keep that around for time frame X and make it mandatory when no serious problems arise. That way people still have a grace period and can skip a couple of intermediary updates if they want to, but I don't think it's desirable that 2+ compatible but possibly very different builds are out there for months at a time.
