Good point, although this hides the point about the first beta
being the cut-off point for behaviour changes. How about
Fixes are welcome through the release cycle, although after
the first beta fixes that result in a change to behaviour
will be much less likely to be accepted.
Once I have this message nailed down, I'll produce a similar
one for the bug fix releases.
