Not really sure why we're discussing it.

We've always had a long beta cycle and this seems to cut it very short
at both ends.

If we're going to have a fixed cutoff date for patches then having a
variable release date seems weird, unless it is to elongate it to fix
bugs.

Let me put it this way: is there a benefit to changing the plan?
Anyone desperate for the new features is already using them, and we're
relying upon that to throw up bugs during beta.
