By the way, for historical perspective:
For BC which saw a massive change in how addons worked with the secure environment, protected API and such, and required entire rewrites of many addons, the lucky authors who got in early (thanks to wowinterface) got an invite only two months prior to the pre-patch going live. The closed beta started less than three weeks before the pre-patch went live. We managed just fine then.
The time between WotLK author invites and pre-patch was around two months too.
I can't find the email from the Cataclysm invite so don't recall how long that time frame was. For MoP (that was the Annual Pass thing maybe) it was five months. For WoD it was four months.
I don't forsee anything close to the upheaval in Legion on the scale of BC. So we're well on track to getting in early enough to get our addons working in time for the pre-patch.
