1.9.0-beta1 do we need it?

I'm still working on the CHANGES file for 1.9, it's taking longer than I
anticipated since it's been roughly 9 months since we last did a major update
(and I forgot how long that one took me).

The original thinking for a beta was to get something moving while we finished
up a few things we knew we wanted in 1.9 (svn info --show-item, external
pinning). But I'm starting to think these things are close enough that given
the time it's taking me to finish up CHANGES we may be ready for a rc1 as soon
as those are done.

Thoughts?
