Sankarshan, You are absolutely right and it has been done deliberately. I have seen over the past that keeping the initial testing cycles small helps keep everybody on their toes. It is like the 80-20 rule, 80% of the bugs are small and irritating which if solved early save a lot of trouble. But, I have a very limited experience in product release, and we might extend the beta period. It will be for the community to decide on the quality of the software as and when to extend the beta cycle.
