In my mind this beta will be relevant for about a week, at which point we'd have another beta or an RC with a lot of bug fixes. If we go from waiting hours for the committers to waiting 3 days for the PMC, that's half its expected lifetime. In other words I see this as closer to a glorified nightly than An Official Release. -Jonathan
