I'd rather not re-introduce the term "release candidate" at this point, especially not in combination with 'Beta'. Under our current guidelines, a Beta *is* a release.
And, so is an Alpha. And we can distribute any release - Alpha, Beta, or GA -- as hard and wide as we like. Then, after distributing the release as a Beta, if no significant issues turn up, we can mark the same distribution as GA. In effect, every release is a release candidate, because every release could be upgraded to GA, should circumstances warrant. But, we should *not* even be thinking about marking a distribution GA until it has been distributed as a public Beta first. That's the part of the process that's been broken lately. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
