I agree
I don't. 10.1 had the problems because the zen stuff was added during beta. This won't hapen with 10.2. We don't need to be chickens. Next release will have enough time to bake, considering that the cycle has been lenghtened to 8 months.
It sucks to release a distro that was in beta for too long because newer versions of software (kernel, KDE etc) might appear in the mean time, and the distro will seem outdated right at lauch.
I agree with this reasoning. I have another point: We still have a couple of steps to do to make the package manager better. For example, integration of the KDE updater and further speed ups (I doubt it will be blazing fast - for that we need some more time). If you look at the release schedule Alpha5 in four weeks (so early October instead of late September) has already some freezes so that we slow down development. If I callout now a Beta1, we'll get lots of broken stuff since developers get their changes in at the last minute. Let's integrate this a bit smoother...
