Yeah, Philippe and I discussed this earlier today. I think we should
do a 3.0a5 this week. I'll try to get EntryPoint merged into
RequestHandler maybe tomorrow and we can do it after that.

My other concern is that we don't let a beta slip indefinitely.
Nothing else much except the first-experience (this may be more than
just the UI) currently looks important enough to me to force putting
off a beta so I'm hoping we can try to keep focused on that and not
keep adding stuff while we wait. None of this needs to be perfect...
just better and moving in the right direction.
