Hello,
As a community, we should be ashamed of this: ``volunteer effort'' just isn't
a good enough excuse - and those of us who haven't volunteered need to find

I would propose to do away with the release schedule altogether, or make
it very succinct;
next release: when it's done.
What? Isn't that the Linux kernel schedule?
