Ok, I'll bite - why is it not called "beta" ?

Given we are releasing the final version of the product by end of this year, we are not planning to have an official beta release or beta program (not enough time).
When we released SailFin V1 alpha in august, it was just days after JSR 289 was approved by SE/EE executive committe. So, the product was not using final 289 APIs and we could not call it "beta". However, most of the features had crossed beta stage at that time. Also, SailFin had undergone a lot of testing (including many 24x7 tests with CLB) by that time.
