Thanks for the summary, really helpful.
As for time considerations, I would suggest going with Owen's
suggestion. A long beta cycle would be a good for everyone, allowing
for user feedback and making the required improvements before any RC
releases.
Better to come out with a polished product that meets all the Release 1
criteria than to rush something which gives a bad impression which is
later very hard to change.

===================
There's not, in my estimation, to finish the current work, user test,
change it, polish performance and quality, and then ship that by March.
What part of that equation got cut out would be flexible, but the end
effect would be that a GNOME 3 in March with GNOME Shell would be beta
quality - we'd have to either lock it down and freeze it without
finishing everything, or we'd be changing stuff up to the last minute.
If we were really desperate for a GNOME 3 at this point, we could
do that, but I don't get the sense that is the case; generally the lack
of a GNOME 3 isn't blocking people from building desktops with
incremental improvements. It makes more sense to take our time and
do a really good job.
