Why not F20?  FESCo perpetuated the "we don't have a schedule yet so
we'll do the Not-Before-XXX-Date thing" long enough that it's
certainly able to do so to extend the schedule.  I fail to see the
point in forcing an F20 schedule that various parties think is crazy
just for the sake of sticking to some nebulous dates.  If you're wary
of the holiday break (which you should be), then push it out well past
that.

Continuing to think that we're going to fix the release schedule
problems with the Next release is clearly not working.
