The reason it went like that is that (a) we had PGCon in there, and (b)
we had a set of security releases in there. Asking for another beta
to have happened is pointless. You might recall that I already *did*
ask that --- I wanted beta2 to happen concurrently with the security
releases --- and was turned down.

I find myself entirely unimpressed by proposals to make releases
according to some rigid schedule that takes no account of whether
packaging manpower is actually available.
