hmm FWIW I would interpret something like 9.0.1B4 as the forth beta release for the first point release of the major release 9.0 bis seems stupid and is not anything we have done before. You could argue that 9.0.0B4 is the foourth beta for the first production release of 9.0 but I find the current naming much more reasonable...
