Description

common exports a namespace called beta, which has a bunch of beta-grade functionality.

So far as I know it is not used. They are before my time and I've never really looked at what's inside.

It is causing issues like docs#447

We need to decide whether to adopt the beta functions, deprecate them (probably not, surely no-one is using them?), or remove them entirely.

Update: just remove it.

Research direction

Start by locating the common adaptor and its exported beta namespace, then search the repository for imports or uses of those functions. Check related documentation, including docs#447, before removing the unused namespace. Done means the beta export is gone and the relevant tests or checks still pass.
