We already do that, but I will not change the version just because
I release a new beta version.

But that is the last thing I want to do for a beta version. A beta
is meant to find problems, not hide them by removing everything that
could have become corrupt.

Neither is the version number meant to be used to remove the file
because it might be corrupt in a "stable" version (in that case there
is a bug that should be found and fixed), but to update the file if
we change the format in the future.
