Yes, I think you've just shifted the beta/release problem into
a pre-release/release problem (it might mean that less people will
see any point in testing the betas, so you may want to stop
doing betas... and call these pre-releases "betas" :o)

Anyway, back to Dalibor's question:

  2.57 is the last version announced to address@hidden
  2.58 is the last version available on ftp.gnu.org
  2.59 is the last version (pre-)announced to address@hidden

Which one is to be considered the last official release?  I
understand it's not 2.59; and you disgraced 2.58 in another
mail.  Next Automake needs at least 2.58, but if this is not an
official release we have to wait.
