Hi Samiso,
personally I don't share your fear of mentioning release dates. Of course I can
only speak as a user/customer. Having officially published release dates
available increases the trust. It somehow shows some professionalism, a planned
course of action.
I also think a "proposed" or planned feature list might never be complete
irrespective any date given. So interested users will always start to get in
contact with you about missing feature. Or they at least see other priorities
and try to influence the order in which you are going to implement the features.
Having dates which can be trusted is especially important for your corporate
customers as they have to align their own project/release planning accordingly.
Just my 0.2 cents on it...
Regards,
Eric

In case of WSF/PHP, we have not mentioned any dates or release numbers. IMHO, if we do not have those, it is more likely people would connect with us and ask "when can I have that feature X".
