This site is only a couple of hours old, yet there are 33 users with over 2000 rep and 9 with over 4000. Are these values holdovers from dev.meta.stackoverflow.com, where everyone started out with 4000 rep, or are these inflated rep values being given to users that actively participated in the private beta?

edit: This might be a candidate for a FAQ, as I probably won't be the only one to get confused about the rep levels on this site. However, should the FAQ remain here, where it's visible to new users, or should it be moved to Meta?
