Version 7.0b soon, maybe or perhaps not?

I just looked at the trac and unless someone sends some high powered espresso or extra programmers, it may not happen. I am suspending a lot of my site development until I can get a date. I know it is still "up in the air" so to speak so I am not looking for an exact, but sadly the goal is only about 23% or so according to the trac. Any updates on the beta release and then the eventual feature final release?
