Oops - meant to say:
alpha/beta are SEPARATE from the release version.
alpha/beta ARE the two stages of the 'testing' arena - "bad unstable testing" and "should be stable for everyday use testing".. But still, at both stages the features can be added/removed.. Feature-locking doesn't occur until the RC's.
You seem to be combining both version numbering and release cycles - which are not exactly the same thing.
Also, the 'are you an idiot' question was not meant to offend, but simply an over emphasis.
