I cannot locate the document I was looking at a couple of 
days ago, but there is some information here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_23_Beta_Release_Criteria

A ß is intended for release to the "general public" and not 
just for developers and 'nerdy' testers and it is supposed to 
be "100% code complete."

I have never had problems with ßs in the past. I kept doing 
the updates and one day the updates-testing repos were 
automatically disabled and voilá, the ß was now the final 
release.

Installing ßs has allowed me to upgrade at my own convenience 
in advance of the big rush on release day when the final 
release comes out. What few minor glitches there might be are 
quickly resolved, as there is heavy development and a steady 
stream of daily updates.

Not only that, but I can contribute with bugzilla reports, as 
necessary, to help make the release flawless, while using the 
system, instead of downloading and installing countless 
testing releases that invariably fail to install and waste my 
time and bandwidth (how many times have I done that, only to 
kick myself in the butt while thinking that I had sworn never 
again to do that?).
