Yes, its a good plan and I support that. That's just normal process.

If you mean we should allow that to stall the release of Beta then I
disagree. The presence of bugs clearly has nothing to do with the discovery
of new ones and we should be looking to discover as many as possible as
quickly as possible.

I can understand the argument to avoid releasing Beta because of Dev
Meeting, so we should aim for June 25th Beta 1.
