Sure, but that's more of a reflection on the convention (some might say 'rationality' ;) of associating a single vector of 'production status' with a number beginning with 1. Again, this is a semver thing, not an iojs thing.
They chose to use semver and apparently even seem to understand the concept of identifying non-stable versions: https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/28
But apparently "beta" equals "stable" to these people.
