So if from one milestone to the other 1000 bugs get fixed and 200 
additional bugs are added (regressions and new ones), you don't consider 
that as progress? What about when fixing one bug exposes and underlying 
bug or bugs that no one noticed before? Is that progress? I think it is. 
  Mozillaquest comes to mind. According to the Mr. Angelo Mozilla is 
buggier and worse now because it has more bugs (listed in bugzilla) now 
than  before. Wonderful logic.  If you follow that logic Milestone 3 was 
more stable and feature rich than M.94, or better yet an unexisting 
product is better because it has no bugs reported yet. hehehe!

Can you define what beta software or pre-release software is? I think 
you should stay away from beta or pre-release software if you don't have 
the patience to deal with the ups and down.
