Nice. Much easier for people who aren't already familiar
with the individual libraries. Given this, I see no need
for the flat alphabetically-sorted list.

The heading "Beta Libraries" begs the question "should I
rely on these or not?" A sentence or two right after the
header could clarify exactly what "beta" means here. I'd
try drafting something, but I'm not sure what it means.
