Because it's easier to discard the phrase 'mmmaybe' than to discard 
the phrase 'beta site' after this new site has gone live. 'beta site' 
may apply to any of the betas for www.gimp.org between when the first 
site went live and eternity. 'Mmmaybe' could just apply to the 
current instance of the beta site for www.gimp.org.

Of course, as I said, it would be much easier if 'www.gimp.org' were 
to be its own 'product' in Bugzilla, so that we could assign version 
numbers or names. The release cycle of www.gimp.org is not the same 
as that for the GIMP itself.
