But the last .0 in 9.0.0 is the patch level, effectively.  This makes
that .0 inappropriate for betas; the beta number is the patch level,
i.e. 9.0.beta4.  It doesn't make any sense to have a 9.0.0beta4, since
we're never going to have a 9.0.2beta4.

The betas are pre-.0.  Maybe we should have 9.0.(-3) instead. Or 8.9.97?;-)
