Heads should roll.
Part of being a beta tester is learning to keep your yap shut until told to open it. A couple of people should have short beta tester careers. The above supposes they weren't told to release the info. I don't remember anybody spilling the beans when the KX3 was released until the video of Wayne carrying it around the room at Dayton was set forth.

I [and my employer] beta tested various items over the years. Often the
item was unbranded, no model or serial number, if electronic, it had the FCC and CE label. They trusted us [and me] to beat it up, do everything we could to crash the software, and I've never found a technology I couldn't break ... and they trusted us to do so privately and not talk about it. It's part of the engineering process. The majority of Elecraft customers can't stand not knowing what's next -- refer to the email list if you doubt -- but after beta, the engineers will address the problems found, and the production release may not match the beta product. If the beta test period is public, that will release a new onslaught of questions about "what happened to ..." or "the one I saw did ...". The excitement is cool, and I enjoy it as much as anyone. But Elecraft has progressed from a very small startup to a large company with many employees, large design and test staffs, and a very large production and distribution operation. They're behaving that way. My KX1 may find it's way to market, age and old injuries are taking a toll on mobility, especially on non-paved surfaces. I love my K2, the KX2 looks really cool, but maybe not for me at this point in life. If you want it, it looks like a great radio for a really great price, and it comes with great customer service. But no heads should be rolling, they did their job, admirably.

Perhaps they were given a specified not before
date and it was today.
