I am concerned in that I have yet to receive a request for RPMs of the beta.

In previous release cycles, those requests have come hot and heavy shortly 
after the beta announcements. Unless the interest in RPM has drastically 
reduced in the last couple of months, my gut feel is that our beta1 has had 
very little exposure outside this list -- and the netizens of this list 
aren't typically RPM addicts.

I have not had time in the past couple of weeks to do much with them, though. 
Looking for a break in the action this week, hopefully.

I would, however, guard against rushing a release -- we _do_ have a 'solid 
release' reputation to protect.
