Code Review
This pull request updates the README.rst to rename 'General Availability' to 'Stable' and consolidate 'Beta' and 'Alpha' support under a new 'Preview' section. A review comment suggests fixing trailing whitespaces and improving the formatting consistency of the Alpha and Beta descriptions for better readability.

This section contains several trailing whitespaces (lines 39, 40, 42, 43, and 45). Additionally, the formatting for the Alpha and Beta descriptions is inconsistent; the Beta classifier is on a new line while the Alpha one is inline. Consolidating the layout improves readability and consistency.
