Hello,
I was just looking at
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle,
and noticed that it no longer mentions any beta pre-releases,
jumping straight to rc1 a couple of weeks into the freeze.
Then I noticed that this appears to have changed with Go 1.20,
which was the first release to not include any betas.
Out of curiosity, was there a reasoning behind this?
Betas and RCs serve a similar purpose for sure,
though a user seeing go1.21rc1 might assume that go1.21 will come soon,
when in fact we expect it to come two months later.
Thanks!
