As I understand it, the particular cycle a release is in depends on how long it's been since a major bug was reported. So an alpha becomes a beta if nobody reports a major bug after N days, and a beta becomes a production release if goes N days without a major bug report. Thus, even if 4.1.3 is released as alpha, it could retroactively be declared beta, and then even release -- although that's pretty unlikely. The long and short of it though, is that nobody can tell you how long until 4.1 will go beta.
