Yes, I do understand that.  But then I look at the differences between
beta1 and beta2 and see some significant version changes (such as
Dovecot jumping from 1.2.9 to 2.0beta8 - a beta version in RHEL?), which
should not be happening after a beta release.  That indicates to me poor
project management and the possibility of an even more delayed release
(which may cause additional packages to get upgrades, causing more
delays, etc.), or a rushed release that is not stable.

Now, I'd much prefer to see Dovecot 2.0 in a long-term release like
RHEL, but a change like that should have been made before the first
beta.

What I heard originally was that RHEL 6 was going to be based on Fedora
12, which was released almost a year ago.  When the first RHEL 6 beta
was released, there were a fair number of packages that looked to be
based on Fedora 13 instead, which indicates much less testing time (and
throwing away some of the Fedora-based testing, since the package mix
was changed).  The second beta upgraded some packages to newer versions
that appear to be based on the Fedora 14 development tree (F14 will
reach beta next week).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
