That can not really be the issue. As it is they must still be getting a large amount of suggestions and just queueing them up, to concentrate of feedback from the official beta testers until the patch is released. If intermediate beta-patches were released, there is no reason they still couldn't concentrate on the feedback from the official beta testers and queue up the other email. Of course there would be more of it. But so what, queue it up.

If someone has a problem with an intermediate patch making things unworkable in some part of their game, they can always go back to the Last official Version or workable beta patch.

However as it stands now the AI is no challenge for me. The game sits idle on my hard drive for the three weeks until the patch is released and I can go back to missing large amounts of sleep. I'd rather deal with instability in game or rules just to get more of a challenge.
