I imagine that since they are changing the backend DB to Postgres that it may take them a while to work out the conversion routine that they'll be using when they do release an up2date package version, they decided to go ahead and get started on the beta so we can get the bugs wrung out while they work on that...
That's just a guess on my part.

According the the info at up2date.astaro.com, "Perfomance Improvements for Logging and Reporting (based on PostgreSQL)" are the reason... I think that MySQL was having some memory leak issues when the box was heavily loaded (I didn't have any customers myself that reported this issue to me, but I've seen some references to it on the UBB here), and perhaps is not as quick as Postgres. I've found that Postgres seemed to be more stable and faster than the "other" open source SQL servers I've tried (though I've not really had any real issues with MySQL itself), so I'm thinking this is a good move.
