I hadn't considered slipping the release, but that does seem like an 
entirely sane idea.  However, I'm not proposing slipping back to alpha 
so we can add the cause-celebre-of-the-week bytes formatting stuff, and 
we don't need to slip all the way back to alpha for Argument Clinic.  A 
third beta seems entirely reasonable though. Let's try the derby for a 
couple of days and see how we feel.
