We learned a few lessons from previous releases. First, don't delay
the beta by days/weeks that drag on. Delay one month at a time.
Second, don't decide on a further delay the day before you are going to
go beta. Multiple short-period delays and delays that happen at the
last minute cause too many stops/starts for developers to be effective,
so...
If we are going to delay beta, we should decide now, not at the end of
August, and the delay should be until the end of September. The big
question is whether we have enough material to warrant a delay.
