Yep - fully agree with even such an expectation.

I did some very basic testing yesterday and did not find any problem, so
I am much more optimistic now ;-)
Why was I so careful? If you look at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/commits-libreoffice-4-0-release-4.0.0.0-alpha1-to-beta1.log">http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/commits-libreoffice-4-0-release-4.0.0.0-alpha1-to-beta1.log</a>
there were about 1350 commits between alpha1 and beta1. Master was
hardly buidable entire Monday and big part of Tuesday. I wanted to be
rather careful with any promises and estimations.

I am afraid that we could not do much about this. We could encourage
but this is natural behavior for most people.
In fact, I want to say a big thank you to all developers. Of course,
there was some pain. But after all this has been the easiest beta1 from
my point of view in compare with older releases.
I think that testing from Thursday 13 to Wednesday 19th is perfectly fine and
beta1 state looks promising for it.

Quite; I think the details you want are all in the wiki:

Know that, but fail to read when freeze for RC1 is - or is that the
range Jan 7 - Jan 13, 2013 ?
That doesn't help much with strict planning of a QA event..

Heh, it describes real life. We used exact dates in the past but there
were delays of few days from time time. The typical proceeding is
described at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#Dates">http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#Dates</a>. We
are one day behind with beta1 so far.
I am looking forward to see the test week/marathon happen. Thanks a lot
for organizing it.
Best Regards,
Petr
