Hmm...but if you're going to do that, why not do that now: push the
beta date back by, say, a month (or however long you had in mind) for
this cycle.  That way, the two major patches that are likely to be
dropped for this cycle stand a chance to make it into this release,
and you accomplish your goal of moving the dates a bit all at the same
time.
