I tend to agree, although they're test releases, not betas :-)

I would personally prefer to get 2.6 out sooner rather than later.  To
throw out something as an alternative plan for a faster release,
something like the following for availability of milestones could work. 
It's definitely a more aggressive suggestion :)

Test1 - January 13
Test2 - February 3
Test3/RC - March 1
GA - March 22

Then, extrapolate back roughly a week earlier for freeze dates.  I'd
love to actually get earlier, but that would require either less test
releases (which strikes me as a bad idea for 2.6), less time between
them (same) or getting test 1 out before Christmas (likely to be really
really hard to pull off)

Anyway, my $0.02 on the matter
