If that means it's stable, +1 from me.
I dispute, on every level, the notion that not releasing a beta means
that we can't work on things in parallel. We can work on all of the
things on the open items list in parallel right now. We can also
test. And in fact, we should test. It's entirely appropriate to test
our own stuff before we ask other people to test it. It's also
appropriate to fix the things that we already know are broken before
we ask other people to test it.
