Wikipedia's definition of beta is:
"Beta" is a nickname for software which has passed the alpha testing stage of development and has been released to users for software testing before its official release. It is the prototype of the software that is released to the public. Beta testing allows the software to undergo usability testing with users who provide feedback, so that any malfunctions these users find in the software can be reported to the developers and fixed. Beta software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss.
Yet there are a number of beta modules that are tagged as Recommended for 6.x.
So there are beta modules, which by using this definition, could be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss, being recommended for 6.x.
Could some experts please comment on this?
I am confused about whether or not to use beta version modules on a production site....
Thanks ahead of time!
