This is the first time I see this planning, besides, I don't remember
a discussion on the mailing list about it, I would not be surprised
if others never saw it or just never considered it binding (e.g.,
in GeoServer we have dates in jira but they have no meaning).

Despite of where it's hosted a schedule has to be discussed, not
just setup unilaterally.

That said, if everybody is ok with cutting a RC this weekend, I'm
not opposed, what I'm opposed to is the way this is being handled

Cheers
Andrea
