The point of beta to begin with was a trial run for the rest of the servers. When they merged what beta was doing with what beta had been doing it took alot of doing and there are still some bugs that need to be fixed. I assume they are more worried right now on fixing the bugs and cheats that are still being used before updating beta with new things. To monitor and run this amount of servers while constantly adding new ones takes alot of work. As far as packages go i'm just glad they have them, and they always doing something for the holidays even small ones..so be patient
