Well, we know beta will have bugs---indeed, we know of some 
already---but the idea is that we do our best not to create new bugs at 
that point. New features bring new bugs. That's why beta release goes 
with feature freeze.

That said, at the moment we're talking about what will make it into 
beta, so some risk is all right.
