I'm quite familiar with the Slackware release cycle. Been a user for 
nearly 9 years and have been running builds from the current tree for as 
long as it has been available. I was referring to the comment in the 
changelog, which indicates that they are getting very close.

Here comes Slackware 9.1 beta-1! (things are looking good, so expect
a very short beta cycle. :-) ZipSlack still to come."

Just like the Slashdot readers, you didn't bother to read the article.
