Whilst the concept of 2.1beta1 and 2.1.1 is a little confusing in terms of
which comes first, the fact remains that they have two different and
distinct names.  If some people choose to refer to both as 2.1.1 then they
are doing everyone a dis-service and should be encouraged to stop doing so.

I'd hate to see a logical and established system changed because some people
choose to misrepresent it.  And let's not miss the point that the confusion
follows later so is surely not an excuse to misrepresent it now when there
is only the one side of the equation.

That's my 2c.
