Probably going to have something appropriate for your dev environments
ready for general consumption at the end of next week. We anticipate
some surprises, and know that some features (like import/export) won't
be included.
For a production environment at your scale, you'll probably have to hold
off until the end of the month or first week of November based on how
things are trending.
