And so we fall into the hole we dig for ourselves with each release, where
the beta period takes almost as long as the development period itself ...
originally, this was all supposed to be done for June 1st, but we pushed
it back to July 1st since ppl only needed "another month" ... then, July
1st, we did the feature freeze, but because so much was left to be
applied, we decided to leave bundling first beta until mid-July ...
If six extra weeks hasn't been enough, I have little faith that adding
'yet another 2 weeks' is going to be enough either ... leave them for 7.6
then ...
