There is no pressure on us to push a release. If some features are missing to make the new additions complete then let us complete them before 5.3.0-final. That's exactly why we have test releases or tests phases. It is really annoying to have half backed features (caricature) when a final release is fired, and then have to wait .1, .2 or .3 to finally get the full working implementation. It is not possible to be 100% sure, but for these two cases (closure and this one), problems have been identified clearly, let the respective developers fix them. About removing the closure or anything else only because we want the beta1 out this month is a bad choice and I strongly disagree with this decision (if it happens).
