Morning Jonathan

This is your shadow speaking: thanks for bringing this up.

First question: what's the reason to squash the 15.08 release schedule?

Then then first two items in the 15.08 schedule still say 15.04 and February.

See above. I general I think it might make sense to squash it a bit but would 
like to know the reason and idea behind it in particular.

And then what Albert wrote.

Thanks
