I would totally agree with you if APH twisted your arm and made you use the beta software. The nature of beta software is that there can and probably will be issues, so it is something we do at our own risk and are willing to revert back to production if too unstable. I certainly agree with their policy here; otherwise they would always be dealing with issues related to beta rather than support production versions.
