I'll put 2 credits on late September to very early October.
In fairness to FDev, they do need a mechanism to keep the number of players in beta to a managable level - else bug reporting will get totally swamped.
Whether or not they can react to what is reported, well, I've noticed that where the feedback is about 'balance' they tend not to react, no matter how overwhelming the beta testers wishes/wants - often leading to 'hilarious' forum melt-down once live.
Ssshh.. This is a source of great amusement for me in the early days of release. I want to keep it as such!

If everyone wants to chip in and contribute to my holiday fund I'll book a seven night break for me and the missus. If history is anything to go by, the moment the payment is taken will be the moment FD announce the same date for the beta drop. What date would everyone prefer? 
(To be fair it's actually only happened twice. But that's twice too often and it still feels personal).
