The point was to move the ingration/patch review period, which we have. Any
move-up of the actual release date is incidental.

No, what gave you that idea? When have we *ever* done a 1-month beta?
If there are absolutely no beta issues we can do another 8.1 and release at
OSCON or something. But with invasive changes like HOT a probable
submission for 8.3, a short beta seems very optimistic.
