I updated the website when we thought that we would reach GA in April. After that updating the website was complicated so I decided to wait for the actual GA. So to answer to your question Josh: Yes we need to update the dates to July. I also promised to put the Roadmap on the website and I will do it as soon as I can. If somebody else wants to do it, it is fine for me too.
