Not just beta testing, but "Red Hat beta" testing.

As mentioned above, Red Hat *never* has announced and expected
release date for anything. They announce a new release
(beta or final) when it's released, and not before.

Guesses and conjecture abound, but that's all they *ever* are.

The fact that rawhide and RHN are not changing, is a sign
something is going on. Given the length of the "freeze"
it looks more like a "final" than another beta release to
many of the experienced people on the list.
