At least I could test and get familiar with it until SL 7 arrives.  (Any hint on how stable it might be? :)

As you pointed it out yourself, the answer largely depends on when
RHEL 7 comes out. In the case of RHEL 6, it took about 6 months from
the beta to the GA release. But I doubt even Red Hat knows exactly
when RHEL 7 will be released [1].
