I agree. A project like Biopython is destined to be in perpetual beta mode anyway. To my mind, Biopython 1.50-beta is as stable as Biopython 1.49 and Biopython 1.51. In addition, will we be able to remember that Biopython 1.50b is the beta release of version 1.50 (or did we have a 1.50, then a 1.50a, and then a 1.50b release?).
