Yes it servesa goal. The final will come when it's ready.  We went through
all this (including the same waiting, expired betas and questions related
threr-to) a few years ago for the 3.6 release and it did eventually come (I
can't remember off-hand how many betas plus release candidates were put out
before it was final)
