+1 for next release being a beta. Once we catch up with recent changes in the JCA otests and complete the last few tests elsewhere we'll be looking good, given the current state of the OASIS tests, in demonstrating the full set of "core" function which I believe includes Assembly, JCA, JCI, Policy, WS. I put "core" as this is the minimum set of function required to actually run the otests. The otests may still change of course but it seems right to be going for a beta so that we can then work on polishing the runtime, docs etc. while people take a look at the beta and report back.
