webkit posting clues to leopard?

After many discussions with interested parties and members of the WebKit community, we’ve decided the time has come to get serious about stabilizing the code. We’ve had about two years of development, which has included many awesome compatibility fixes, performance improvements, standards compliance enhancements, and new features. Now is the time to get the source tree in solid shape. As part of this, we are announcing two changes.

sounds like the safari team is moving on to the beta phase of development.

conjecture:

it would make sense that the whole dev team is moving on to beta at this point, if not already there and working on code stabilization.

if that is the case that leads me to believe leopard is now feature complete, we have at least 2-3 months of stabilization/beta testing and a WWDC release. hopefully a sneak preview of the top secret features sometime soon.

errr.. im not sure how to interpret this so called "stabilization" thing. Im really surprised that next gen of safari has not, right now, been branched.
