Yes, there are items on the list that we expect to be completed or mostly completed long before the slot where they're listed on the release plan. > - Just because a feature is listed for a given major release doesn't > mean that it won't be available before (possibly long before) that > time. In other words, the list is "feature X really needs to be > finished by this point" more than "don't expect XYZ to be > available before then."

And it gives us a metric of success. Success is completing a feature sometime before the targeted time-based release. Earlier is always a nice bonus.
