That code is there for a reason. That reason is that it's a beta release 
and to not have old versions with old uncorrected bugs floating around 
after those bugs are resolved. Nobody want to get bug report for old 
squashed bugs...

If you don't want to cope with that, then you should stick with the 
non-beta version 3.6.
