To be honest, FreeBSD's definition of BETA or RELEASE CANDIDATE is contrary to common understanding of the terms. BETA or RC implies new code that is currently in the testing phase (well RC implies that it is almost ready for release, but it still hasn't been proven as ready).
Actually, maybe they should try it the other way around. There are commits to the STABLE stream, and when the STABLE stream is solid enough, it is released. STABLE sounds to me like it should be called BETA!
