You could be surprised by what turns up in the final release ...
although Apple wouldn't be stupid enough to put such things in the
Public Beta anyway.

You said: 
   "Public betas are supposed to be discussed. That's why they exist."

I'm simply telling you that there are limits to what you are allowed to
discuss and where. To find out what those are, you should have read the
agreement you 'signed" by joining up to the Beta test programme.

Yet. Eventually they will. Whether the rumoured Retina iMac is released
about the same time as Yosemite is a different question.

It's also possible that Apple will include a setting or auto-adjust
feature in the final release that helps with the problems on non-Retina
displays.
