Already have. Many beta sites are being removed because they didn't report
anything, and just took advantage of the free advanced releases.

Well there are several reasons for that to happen.
1) New bugs that suddenly show up just before release have the least
opportunity to be caught.
2) It is not uncommon for the final release to ship before many of the
beta testers even see it.
3) What some people consider blatant bugs, may be quite obscure to others.
4) Some problems inevitably are configuration dependant, and a multi-
platform release makes that infinitely harder to test all configs.
5) Many aspects of the final release are never seen by the beta testers,
such as the installer software.
