I don't expect stability, have used alphas and betas, and debian unstable many times in the past... this is several notches below what I have experienced before. I cannot believe they can turn it around in a month. That's the nub of it. I suspect that they need to cancel the release, because I'm really not convinced that it is just my hardware, or just a few integration issues. They simply do not have time to fix the huge number of things that are busted.
