Fine, I said what I had to say. The rest is up to the ones that decide.
If you release something on a date then what you will get is what Debian
got with Sarge. It was all criticized and said to also be insecure. I
can install my own NM 6 but people can't stand using a Distro with bugs.
BTW, a date is only used to do a cut on development and inclusion and
make people to use the version that is upstream. But there are always
exceptions. Once bugs are fixed or most of them, then you got yourself a
nice Release. Not because of a date.
