One datapoint is that the version control bundles could use some 
additional testing. A beta cycle to get some user comments and testing 
in wouldn't hurt them at all.

In any case, users should be warned about the 'beta' nature of the 
Subversion bundle -- it may be wise to default it to off, in fact. (I'm 
mainly concerned that people don't risk their careers on Commit just 
yet. :)

But I understand the value of getting a stable release out the door, 
and I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if you chose to wrap it up 
instead of doing one more beta.
