The purpose of beta's is to get feedback about the code. The earlier we get 
that feedback the longer we have time to fix things.

Every 100 lines of new code introduces a certain amount of bugs. By having 
betas at regular intervals we will be able to find and fix those bugs over a 
longer period of time instead of being swamped by them all at once.

Cheers,
Waldo
