). Forum also have Bug report section, anyone could write about the bugs there, and maybe the final "bug-free" version could come out earlier.
a nice proposal... 
Which wouldn't have worked for this version in the way you think it would have because of various reasons I'm not going into atm.
Just that for each existing public beta of a software there has always been, and always will be, a private beta testing phase too. And that is exactly what is been done now. Simply consider this entire time as that
private beta testing phase before a public beta testing phase if you will... So the entire reason for your argument ("
so the public can get their hands on it") is mute since the public will get their hands on it soonish and they can go bug hunting and reporting bugs all they want soonish...
The only difference will be the lack of the label '
beta', but that is all, just a 4-letter word in the AboutBox would be all the difference between what is happening now and what you prupose...
