If I would provide and maintain a production environment, in which stability
and reliability is important for my customers, I would not install any  
software
classified as beta as long as there is no important reason to do  
otherwise (and even
a non-beta release would require heaps of testing).

Not because a non-beta release is better or more stable, but because I  
am in a bad
position for discussion with the customers, if something goes really  
wrong with the
beta, regardless of how well it was tested.

Just my 2 cents :)

Cheers
Marcus
