While it would be great to have Beta around this year, it is not a must 
though. What does matter is: the ISO will be as stable as a final 
release so we can use it for daily use, not just for testing. As 
discussed before, that would buy us more time.

If we won't be able to do it this year, don't make this a stressful 
issue at all. There is a reason why I haven't forced any release schedule :D
