BTW, that sounds as we stick to the 6 month release cycle again. I 
thought there was some consensus from the last discussion that a long 
term foreseeable release cycle (such as the one from Gnome) is a good 
thing and that we want to aim for Early/Mid April and Early/Mid October. 
The above now is nearly late April (without slipping).

So do people simply dislike the "long term foreseeable release cycle" or 
was it simply forgotten again? Or could the board simply discuss this once?

Agreed, I would feel much more comfortable if we would have two weeks 
puffer.
