A few questions:
Why a beta version?
Because the changes on the 1.0.0 branch will not break ABI as
they will
be bugfix-only and it will allow us to upgrade to 1.0.0 later.
Is there a good chance the final upstream release will be done before
F12 GAs?
Yes, there is, but of course I cannot guarantee that. But it shouldn't
be a problem too big as the beta3 is already in pretty good shape.
Will the beta nature of the release cause lots of potential rebuilds
as you
update it with newer betas?
If you mean rebuilds of dependencies then definitely
not. And even
rebuilds of openssl there should not be many as I suppose there will be
a final release soon.
