http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/tekkit-3-1-1-is-out.9821/ This announcement and tweet make it seem like Tekkit 3.1 is the official recommended build. In addition, it's being displayed prominently all over the site. If that's the case, why is it not the Recommended Build on the launcher? And if it's because it really is just a Beta Build, then the reverse question applies: Why is it being pushed so much if it's just a Beta Build?
