My interpretation isn't that the original poster is complaining about how the
developers aren't working hard enough.  I think he's complaining that the beta expires
before another is available.  Sure, there's an esoteric way to get around the
expiration.  But it all seems a bit silly for the deadline to be so much shorter than
the beta release cycle.

Personally, I think the expiration time should just be boosted up.

Easy enough:
source/backend/povray.h:#define EXPIRE_AT       (1225490400)
