Just my 0.02 from Sakai land - we did away with alpha/beta
designation because in a "release early and often" it just does not
make sense.
These terms "alpha/beta" are good descriptions when those releases
will live for a while (Like Vista Beta) and people will actually
install and run them in real environments for a few months - then
folks using the "beta" version can put in bugs appropriately and know
that the Beta version might be a little buggy.
In the speed way that most O/S projects operate - "release candidate"
is about as much of a label as is appropriate. We put up a release
candidate, kick the tires and then ship it unless something is broken.

With regard to the alpha, beta, etc designations, I'd propose to do
away
with them, at least for 1.1.x. If we could just cut a release

(that is what it is, even if we don't _say_ thats what it is) and vote
on it.
