You are conflating internal vs. external nomenclature. By any reasonable
definition of "alpha" and "beta" release, they are both releases in

"quality" (if I may coin a term) release is one in which the recipients
are *not* expected to participate in testing, but rather be purely
users.
Fedora Core is a PROJECT, which Red Hat expressly states is intended
to involve the USERS in the testing. That means, IMO, it is beta test.
