On one hand, there have been an abnormally large number of build
failure reports.

On the other hand, most (if not all) seem to be user configuration
issues rather than anything wrong with the beta itself.

So on balance it seems OK to release the beta. I'll wait another 4
hours (IE until 12 noon eastern US time) to see if anyone disagrees,
and then do the beta release.
