Agreed. There will probably be a schedule slip so that we can finish
up the visuals, allow a proper beta period, and schedule user testing
on the new design.

My hope is beta 1 at the end of the week with an RC1 or beta X on Nov
10 and final release at some as yet undetermined time after that. I'll
announce something soon, after firming up the dates.
