Beta goes down in 1 week ... if we follow what we had talked about before,
within a short period of time after beta, we should be able to let ppl
dive into working on v7.4 (or 8.0, whatever we decide to call it) ... but
let's try and stick to a timeline for once, else we are going to hit the
same as the last *very* extended release ...
