Well, there goes MythTV, then.
And *lots* of other code.
The short answer is that you can't *not* call it beta until you've had a wide enough audience test it, and if you're an OpenSource project, releasing is the only way to do that. You don't have to *call* it beta, but it's more intellectually honest to do so, IMHO.
