The short answer is that it will come out of beta when it does. The 
longer answer is that the development of Nagios does not proceed in 
lightning quick fashion and that I would not hold my breath. It *may* 
come out of beta by the end of the year, but it might not. IANAD (I am 
not a developer) so I may be blowing smoke in the wind here.

Version 2.x is at least an order of magnitude faster than the 1.x 
branch, we were going to have to put a distributed architecture in place 
with our set up of 12k services, then I did some tests with v2.x and we 
could get away with one server and 12k services :)

Sorry, can't help you here.
