        I agree, beta == bugs. Not much value publishing bugs for Beta stuff.
        (Other than notifying the vendor, that is)

        However, I think it is useful to know about vulnurabilities in EOL
(end of life'ed) products, so people who still use them - for whatever reason
- are informed of the problems. Just don't expect any vendor support... and
it is very important to point out in the advisories that something is
no-longer-supported.
