Although there has been general agreement that there should be more
time between beta and final releases, we haven't nailed down the exact
duration.

To get discussion started, I'll propose five weeks as the target time
between beta and final release. Since there needs to be a week for
final regression tests to cycle and release candidates to be tested,
that would allow four weeks for beta fixes to be incorporated.

Comments?
