Not a suggestion for 1.72, but we could probably simplify pre-releases naming to just RCn without betas. I.e. we'd have 4-5 RCs instead of RC betas and RCs.
The reason that we have betas is that some external folks (like linux distros) trigger on that. They ignore boost until they see a beta release, then they start testing against that; knowing that a release is imminent. -- Marshall
