beta is the beta for jessie, which corresponds to Debian jessie, which
is currently Debian stable.

And if I recall the other names correctly,

ascii corresponds to the next Debian release, which I think is
testing/stretch.

Ceres corresponds to unstable/sid.

I'm running devuan jessie on my laptop and debian wheezy on my server.
I plan to upgrade the server to devuan jessie when I have the time.
I may have to replace the hardware first, which is failing in ways that
do not seriously affect daily operation, but do affect long-term
stability.

It'll be jessie that emerges as beta. The discussion about
ascii here is about what we might do after jessie finally gets its
official roduction release. (never mind that a number of people are
successfully using it for production now).

I think the developers are being *very* conservative about when they
consider it ready for beta, given the poisonous political atmosphere
that has developed around systemd-or-not.
