Sorry, I do not like this idea. This is not something we used to see in
other OS projects. PHP core
versioning does not contain much beta (except for php5), most of the
things is done in branches and in snapshots. This is a different
process. I think PHP will soon or later uses also status to bundle or
not interesing extension in the distros.
RC[0-9]{2} is part of the release number. The status defines nicely the
current development quality. I.e. beta means you can start to test the
application in your test environment, and plan to add new features
without wasting your time to rewrite/drop part of your work.
