Hi @StreetGuru, thank you for your encouraging words!
The Beta1 release is behind the corner, that means we’re sure there will be a safe upgrade path from “beta to final”. I’m installing Beta1 on some production environments and do some field-tests.
How much time are we spending on beta? It’s hard to say, it depends on how much bugs we find and if they are trivial or not 
Anyway I think two months is a good estimate.
