I don't follow you here.  No one is forcing you to use the betas.  If
you don't care for the frequency of the cycles (once again, I don't
follow your rationale here), then you can just use the release
version.

Generally, this has been the case.  Whenever 9Val releases the first
beta in a series, he indicates what the beta series is aiming for.  I
suspect the planning for the next beta series is coincidental with the
development of the current beta series.  They don't need to be
mutually exclusive things.
