We are working to reach a larger audience with the Beta and Previews.
We have to be careful that we don't alienate them.  This two-pronged
approach is valuable -- explain deep technical matters in a simple
enough way for the wider audience, then link to an appropriate beat page.

This is a way to make the beats more active and useful, as a place
developers can show off package work sooner and more in their control;
as more than just a dumping place for content that 'eventually' makes
it in to the release notes.  There is a natural opportunity from the
beat to link back to feature pages, which fill this similar purpose of
showing work sooner and more (pro)actively.
