first let me say thx for driving this forward. I guess a lot of people will be
glad if we start shipping betas

But there is one thing I'd like to know: How will this interact with the stock
drivers in times when the beta becomes final and no new beta is yet available?

A example might help to better outline what I'd like to know (version numbers
made up). 

- let's first assume xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-123.3 and
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-beta-124.1 are in the repo.

- let' further assume the nvidia version 124.3 becomes the new "stable" driver
a few weeks later. Will xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-124.3-1 obsolete
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-beta-124.1-1? What happens to the beta kmods? Will yum
remove them automatically (I think so, but would be nice to check that before
the packages enter the repo)?

- let's further assume that nvidia a few weeks later releases a new beta 125.1;
will those users that installed xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-beta-124.1 earlier get
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-beta-125.1 automatically installed (note, I'm not even sure
if we want that or not; I currently tend a bit to "we want that")
