But it might make sense to set a date for next release, feature freeze
and so on as soon as the previous release is out. That will give
everyone a better idea of how much tie there really is to add big new
features. Meaning that as soon as 2.1.0 is out, we set dates for 2.1.1
( and possibly even for 2.2.0 ). That makes sense to me, but going
beyond that does not.
