Requiring an open beta (the Hosted tab) sounds like a hype killer for servers that have had continuous pre-testing like Classic and are planning a "big" release. I thought the only purpose of the Hosted tab was to offer that kind of testing environment to servers that feel they've reached that stage in their development. It just seems weird that you can no longer skip the step, but it's not really a big deal either. It's not as though we're flooded with potential Classic tab servers planning their release, but I can understand why Classic staff don't like it being a requirement, because I wouldn't either if I had a server I planned to release.
