+1. The idea is usually that going into release mode with a target date gets
developers to put in more work towards the release. That may partially be true
and there might indeed by slightly more activity. But I don't see (at all) how
all this stuff will get worked on and implemented in the proposed timeframe.
Especially PM will probably need a lot of time after the merge until we are all
happy with how it works and all the kinks are worked out. That's not to say
Ingo and Oliver have not already worked out many kinks and have put in a lot of
thought and anticipated many problems. But I am still sure that after the much
bigger exposure after the merge, there will still be enough issues to sort out.
The point of the Beta release would be to be "convincing enough".
Best regards,
