Yeah, I don't hink that's reasonable at all.

And it doesn't make sense to release in july or at least first half of
august due to vacations. Maybe all of august. Which has us in early

But if we believe we've taken care of all known open issues fairly
soon, getting an RC out rather than a beta before people go on
vacation would probably be a good thing...
