-# Beta-blocking changes
-
-APIs often release an alpha version of their API in order to get early feedback
-from customers. This API is provisional and can change many times before the
-important feedback is incorporated and the API is made stable for beta.
-
-Since the purpose of alpha is to gather feedback, the API does not need to be
-perfect yet, and it's not strictly necessary for API authors to address every
-usability concern or address every point in the API standards. Often, API
-authors and API reviewers will not agree on the best design, and the best way
-to find out is by having users try out the API.
-
-However, once the feedback has been collected and the API is going to be
-promoted to beta, usability concerns and style issues need to be addressed. In
-order to ensure that these issues are not forgotten, they **should** be
-explicitly documented in the API.
-
-## Guidance
-
-If an API has usability concerns or violates API standards, and the present
-design should receive additional scrutiny before being carried through to the
-beta version, there **must** be an internal comment linking to this document
-using its descriptive link ([aep.dev/beta-blocker]()) to ensure that the design
-is corrected before the API is released to beta.
-
-The comment **must** also indicate what kind of change should be made for beta.
-For example:
-
-{% tab proto %}
-
-```proto
-message InputConfig {
-  // Parameters for input.
-  // (-- aep.dev/beta-blocker: Convert well-known parameters into explicit
-  //     fields before the beta launch. --)
-  map<string, string> parameters = 1;
-}
-```
-
-{% tab oas %}
-
-**Note:** OAS example not yet written.
-
-{% endtabs %}
-
-If an exception to API standards _does_ need to be carried through to beta and
-GA, see AEP-200.
