Yup. Besides, what is the difference between creating a release named 2.9.0-beta1 and 2.9.0 at this point. The release process is exactly the same. In addition, even if you do that I guarantee you will still find minor issues right after the non-beta release.
Betas make sense when you are releasing code that you think isn’t quite ready for the prime time.
