I'm a +1 on a beta now vs maybe later. Beta doesn't imply perfect especially if there are declared known issues. We need people outside of this tight group using it and finding issues. I know how this rolls. Very few people touch a Alpha release. Beta is when the engine starts and we need to get it started asap. Otherwise we are telling ourselves we have the perfect testing apparatus and don't need more users testing. I don't think that is the case.
Scott, Ekaterina, and I are going to be on stage in 2 weeks talking about Cassandra 5 in the keynotes. In that time, our call to action is going to be to test the beta.
