I would think that all three of the above-mentioned items could be
resolved in parallel, rather than doing one first.  (I assume Bruce
hasn't got anything ready release-note-wise.)

Somebody previously suggested targeting the week of the 22nd for beta
(ie, wrap beta1 on Monday 4/22), and that still seems like it could
work, if there are no bigger problems than these.
