I'm fine with bringing root up to date with /beta, but I'd like to
keep /beta a separate site through the end of the term, so that it's a
place we can update quickly with information pertinent to the cluster
test project. I currently lack bits on the root website and had
also assumed that it would not be desirable for the root site to be a
place where we do live edits without a chance to preview them. If
both of those turn out to be false, then I'm fine with making /beta a
symlink.
