What exactly is the plan here, people have been throwing around beta but
I don't know what that means in this context? Are you going to change
the version information so Derby reports itself as beta? Doing that on
the trunk just seems wrong, maybe it's ok, but isn't the trunk always
alpha, cutting edge, etc?

Confused,
