I was under the impression that we don't promise to support a "v10 -> beta
-> rc -> final" upgrade path; instead, once final is released people would
be expected to upgrade "v10 -> v11".  Under that condition requiring users
to do "v10 -> beta2" instead of "beta1 -> beta2", while annoying, is well
within the realm of possibility and expectation.
