Concerns about "Beta" in the RPM Release tag of "xz" and "xz-libs" in RHEL
Issue
It makes our customers (and me) nervous if packages have Beta in their version or release tag. The latest RHEL5-version(s) of rpm-build and xen-libs have dependencies to "xz" and "xz-libs". Therefore we are forced to install these packages. Why did Red Hat decide to use a Beta-release tag and what are the consequences?
