Erm no. That's no option. What's next?
Redefining "men" as "women", "programmers" as "clowns" and "KDE" 
as "Enlightenment 2" ?

If we are not there yet then we are simply not there yet. On the other hand 
you need to be aware that no release will be perfect.

It's no issue if a major release with huge architecture changes gets lots of 
functional regressions and some additional bugs. But trying to 
redefine "Betas" as "RCs" and "stable" release numbers as "instable" is the 
best way to make people take you not serious anymore and spread confusion 
everywhere.
