If beta is to mean something, I think we need a weeks notice for
everyone involved to review and at least sign off on things that
aren't going to be addressed for the beta. 1 day isn't enough
for that.

I'm sorry you're busy next week (it's a holiday Monday here in
the US too) but that's not an excuse to release in such a rush.
