Hi!

Sorry for a very late feedback on this.

I think this is the way it has to be done, more or less. I was trying to
think of a better way back when you sent it, and then didn't but forgot to
reply :)

Now, beta isn't enough. We technically have alpha, beta and rc. Should we
make it something like "?include=beta,rc" and a chance to list them? Or
should we have "testing=beta" and have it basically do "if you say alpha
you get all, if you say beta you get beta and rc and if you say rc you get
rc"? Which would make more sense?
