It's not for us to decide release dates. We're beta testers, and that's where our responsibilities (and our input) ends. Telling the devs what to do with their product when we aren't privy to what they have is probably not the wisest of choices. The devs are professionals, they understand the community, the market, and their competition better than any of us do. I doubt they'd go through the long days and nights that they have to now to release an inferior product that won't sell well. That makes little business sense. It may not be what any given person may think is the best choice, but it is safe to think that it will have a broad enough appeal, both in feature, art, and design, that it will be a product that most people will like and buy.
So, go ahead and worry, if that's your thing, about release dates and such. A better use of your time might be to do the one thing the devs have actually asked for, which is to make gameplay suggestions and help them squash bugs.
