Agreed

I completely agree with the need to end this CF here/now/soon. As
someone who has normally tried to stretch the limit on what is
possible, I do recognise the need for this to come to an end.
(Certainly my own available time is running out.)

Thanks very much to everybody that tried to get so much into the release.

I think we probably need a little more time for open items discussion
and lists (not more feature commits, just docs and
I-said-I'd-change-thats). In the past that has taken a couple of weeks
to work through, so I'd guess there's a few things to sort out there.

So I suggest about 23 April for Beta1.
