Breezy+1 release schedule

[Jerome Gotangco]

It's actually very possible to have WIP docs for milestone releases. It's 
just that none of us are packagers and Jeff Bailey came in quite late for 
stuff to get into the milestones. Jeff has been great help lately and once 
he gets svn access he can help clean up the repository to make it more 
package friendly. We've actually written an enourmous amout of work midway 
through Breezy. Its just that none was packaged/uploaded to the milestones.
