I thought the Board not that long ago agreed to have more predictable
release schedule with a release target end of April/early May and end of
October/early November? Gregdek for example mentioned in
http://gregdek.livejournal.com/12639.html: "we're going to start
tracking release dates for Fedora much more aggressively. The current
goal: release Fedora twice a year, at Halloween and May Day, every year."

Did that goal change again? Or was it forgotten?

Just wondering.
