Please do not confuse team work with democracy. I like team work, I do take 
suggestions, but at the end each person in a team has a given role and a given 
attributions for that role, the release dude does the releases.

And as release dude I've decided I don't want to release Beta 1 depending on 
unreleased packages.

Being the release dude is something i did not want to do, but we had to make a 
release and noone was there to do them.

Cancelling the Beta 1 is something i did not want to do, but I do sincerely 
think that releasing depending on unexsisting stuff is a bad idea.

Cheers,
  Albert
