Before, there were several private beta releases to a controlled team
before any public betas were made (there were really more like 4-5 betas
and a release candidate or two, but only 3 public releases).  FC2 is the
first without that, and in some ways, it is showing.  I think the goal
of 3 test releases for FC2 is rather ambitious (especially with the
major changes of kernel 2.6 and SElinux); I'm not sure it is realistic
though.
