I also do think it's important that we put out a beta (or alpha)
relatively soon. Both because we actually need input to find out what
works and what doesn't and also because it pushes us to tie up loose
ends.
A beta with open items isn't that bad a thing? There's many bigger
projects doing 4-8 betas releases before a major one; and most of them
have open items at the indvidual beta's release times.
I think we should define/document it so that there's no hard goal of
being compatible for beta releases and that the compatibility goal
starts with the first release candidate, and not the betas.
