Time to start getting 1.5 ready for beta?

[Stephen Holt]

Definitely, finish up the current release before we start betas for 1.5

I figured 1.5 has a few glaring things we need to patch up before we start shipping betas for it anyway - I just want people to be thinking about it as something that can be released :)
