The current "beta kit" is more stable, check http://remedy.nl for the test
statistics. Most of our customers are using a "beta kit" for production
software, including critical systems. We as Remedy IT do call it "micro
releases", the term beta is (according to us) more from the past when things
wheren't tested as much and most beta's years ago didn't build out of the
box.
