So you complain about how we can dare to raise critics on a beta patch because you think we don't understand the word "beta"? Well the word "patch" is also inside this, dear friends!
And patch in my opinion means that an existing thing is made better.
I just don't understand why formerly working things need to be destroyed for placing new features - this is just not what I expect to be a "patch" - beta or not. Maybe we just need a new name for it.
midnight try-out or something like that...
