I can see both sides here, but if GW Micro can build in support, I would certainly hope FS can do it too. Let's just hope that the later betas won't break anything for the screenreaders or we'll all be up you know what creek.

If I build support for beta 1, then beta 2 breaks the support, so I have to go in and build support for beta 2, then beta 3 breaks support for that, etc., etc., etc., I believe that's called spinning my wheels. Better to wait until the thing is actually released, or a bout to be released, and offer support that won't break in a beta that gets released tomorrow.
