+1

Saturday would have been in time to cancel the release. We started importing 
it on Monday. Canceling the release after the distros already started 
packaging it is a complete no go.

Same here (or actually I'd have hoped Albert would try to coax the Soprano 
maintainers into doing a release, which would have been the proper way out of 
this crisis). It isn't even the first time this occurred, and canceling the 
beta release wasn't ever even for dicussion in the past, nor did the mail on 
Saturday give any hint that this might possibly happen this time.
