I'm not criticizing the API overhaul, I'm criticizing the unrealistic release schedule rush.

That's not my perception. For example, the language and standard library freeze is in 3 weeks (the beta release), and yet they are doing a complete redesign of the std::io module: http://discuss.rust-lang.org/t/psa-io-old-io/1403

There's no way they could gather enough experience with the new API within three weeks in order to commit to it for the next decades of Rust.
