To wait or not to wait, that is the question

Now that things seem to have reached “feature complete” its probably safe to work using the “beta”
Up until now I would consider them to have been “alphas” and things could have been removed
That would be a problem

Its happened before where projects started depend on some feature etc that was subsequently removed or altered so significantly that any projects using it had to be rewritten
Thats the nature of alpha software
