In that case, I'd rather provide direct links in the announcement and on 
/developer/beta.  There's no excuse to make people hunt for the beta 
instead of making it obvious.

HOWEVER, I would like a change to where the betas are posted (Marc, you 
listening?).  Please put all betas at:

     http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.4beta/
     http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3beta/win32/

Instead of putting each beta version in a path like:

     http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.4beta1/
     http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3beta1/win32/

That way, we won't have to keep updating the links every where for each 
beta and RC release; the directories will remain the same.
