That may be, but 2 weeks before release is still the wrong time to bring it up. Where were y'all 6 weeks ago with this burning issue? :-) Again, we can discuss this until we're all blue but it won't change the fact that I'm not going to alter my release strategy during a BETA cycle. I'm not deaf to the arguments that this situation is confusing to new users needs to be revisited, I'm simply saying that now is *not* the time to be contemplating such things nor is throwing something like this in my lap at the last minute very much appreciated by yours truly! ;-) > If it's the Beta release for the 2.2.5 version, then it should be > labeled as the 2.2.5 Beta.
