+The whole alpha/beta/rc concept has changed a lot in Firefox upstream:
+https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2011/04/07/new-development-channels-and-repositories-for-rapid-releases/
+
+So, we have to have the Beta versions, so as to work out the niggles
+to be ready to push the stable version to stable releases (Mageia 1).
+
+As for Aurora... I don't know I think Beta should be enough, for the
+brave souls they can use the upstream binary tarballs, I think
