LR4 and ACR still in sync?

As most here will know LR uses Adobe Camera Raw as its engine.
Now what got me wondering is the fact that LR4 has been released as a final product while ACR 6.7 is still at the release candidate state.
How is this possible?
Has LR4 been released prematurely?

Not practical...LR4 and Photoshop CS6 (and ACR 7) are on separate but similar release cycles...no, they don't mess up exactly but Adobe has a history of releasing a "last" ACR version (ACR 6.7) before Photoshop CS6 and ACR (ACR 7.x). Do you want LR4 to be delayed because the dev cycles are different? Do you really want LR to be that tied to Photoshop?
