3.5 months for the planned cycle seems a bit two long especially when you think it would be reasonable to bump it for something important. I personally would like to see 2 months planned, so if it runs long we are closer to 3 months instead of 4.

Hypothentically speaking, here's a 3.5-month schedule for 1.2:

June 12: 1.1 released
  - select release manager for 1.2
  - set goals for 1.2
July 1: 1.2-M1 released
July 21: 1.2-M2 released
August 14: 1.2-beta1 released
Sep 1: 1.2-beta2 released, no new features
Sep 14: 1.2-rc1 released, no non-critical bugs
  - 1.3-SNAPSHOT branch created
Sep 21: 1.2-rc2 released
Sep 27: vote on 1.2-rc2 as 1.2
Oct 1: release 1.2

Though perhaps we could move the feature/bug freezes down one release.
And, of course, if a lot of problems were discovered in, say, 1.2-rc1
then perhaps we'd introduce an extra 1-2 week rc into the plan.  What
do you think?

Thanks,
   Aaron
