It's a sad state of affairs that the wailing and gnashing of teeth  
only ever happens after a third-dot final release and few people  
bother with the betas. In the light of the effort needed to produce a  
Zope beta I support the decision.

I personally would still continue doing betas for things like CMF,  
but then again the work needed to put together a release is a lot  
less. And I still live under the illusion that those betas see a  
modicum of testing ;)
