I am concerned about slowing down too early.  We did that in previous
releases and didn't get the beta focus we needed, and it was too
paralyzing on people to know what is to be slowed and what to keep
going.  I think a slowdown two weeks before beta would be fine.

Basically, I think the slowdown lengthened the time we were not doing
something productive.
