3. It is very important to catch backward compatibility problems

    the final release, it will be considered a bug and will be fixed
    (by adding backward compatibility support) if at all possible
    before the final release.  After the final release, we may choose
    not to bother to fix backward-compatibility problems.  Consumers of
    Zope have a right to backward compatibility, but they also have a
    responsibility to test Zope against their applications during the
    beta release cycle (or sooner) to make sure their applications
    work.

""""Consumers of Zope have a right to backward compatibility"""

Consumers of Zope also have the duty to test beta releases! A lot of people
are waiting the final release before trying it for a variety of reasons. So why
do be do beta releases? :-)
