This whole naming of Skype app for linux is confusing. This announcement is just that they are retiring their older version of the app and they are asking users to switch to the newer beta version which is missing some features. Ultimately there's still going to be an official app for Linux.

What do they gain by retiring a working app in favour of an unreleased "upgrade"? Is there some problem with the old version that needs immediate upgrade and can't be (security) patched?
