An awful lot of software would be better if they had just said, "no, it needs another alpha, or another beta.

Two very good open-source release models, the two strings of stable/bleeding edge in Linux, or the planned alpha/beta plus roll with the punches of Mozilla - though there, you have a 3rd option for the brave, nightly builds.
