There's still a ton of things left to break in phobos.  I'm not too worried about trying to get them all in right now.

I agree, let's get this release stamped out and move on to the next cycle.  There's already been two beta's cut during
this cycle, though I agree that a third would be a good idea to make it clear that unless someone speaks up about
regressions that the next step is a release.

Anyone have a good reason not to freeze checkins for the next beta on, saturday or sunday and hopefully release a day or
two later?
