Al: Well, normally it's at least two weeks and MAYBE a second beta release... however, there's LOTS of new code here, so I'm sure there will be at least one followup beta, requiring a slightly longer than normal beta period.
If there's a high bug rate, then there will need to be more testing. If there's a low bug rate, then there won't need to be more testing than normal.
After the first few private beta releases, the private bug rate dropped like a rock. I'm feeling pretty good about this release... Let's hope that it's quick.
