Well, since there are two releases of the JDK this here, neatly interspersed in March and September, it seems like a logical approach to follow, with the benefit that we could potentially end up having NetBeans bundles with a JDK, if the stars align. The stars are less likely to align if we completely ignore those specific months -- sure, we could release in July and December instead, but why? March and September are as good as any, and better than most, because of the JDK release cycle.
