Makes "common sense" type of sense of course, but doesn't really mean it's related to any Apple scheduling or at least plays a driving role in it all.

Other than the fact that there is no reason for it, you mean?
They could have waited until tonight to purge the data and pause syncing, if they weren't going to release the beta until tomorrow.

EVERYBODY works Tuesday.
The CloudKit wipe has already happened or is in the process, because yeterday my Manage Storage settings in iCloud had "iCloud Photo Library" listed, and now it's not there. I also gained space.
I think they did the wipe because of the issue with iCloud Photo Library where a lot iCloud space was taken up and couldn't be recovered if it was turned off.
Beta 3 should be ready today or tomorrow.

Wouldn't it be better to wipe data after Beta 3 is out? That way most developers have upgraded and you don't have any old data created from Beta 2 sitting out there?
iClound Photo Library is not present anymore since the data wipe today. I guess it will be re-enabled when you got Beta 3 on your device. So it makes sense.
Comparison yesterday and today:
Great to see that it's out, nice sticking to their path 
Any changes, well probably yes but which ones?

No, CloudKit data has been purged, and syncing as been paused for beta 2 devices. Which means, only beta 3 devices will abel to resume syncing with CloudKit.
Ah ok that makes sense! I was wondering how they would do that.
