+I don't recall seeing such a discussion... but I think we are now drifting 
+too far off... I think the number of persons for which this is an issue is 
+really limited and any date that we pick will be somewhat arbitrarily.
+
+That said, I believe April 1st will satisfy everyone as:
+
+- It is exactly 10 months after the first release;
+- People will have the entire month to decide if they want to up their 
+   month's limit or not;
+- Some people will only realise at the end of the month that the release 
+   was for real and not an April fools joke so they won't have this dilemma;
+- The release of mga2 will coincide with my nieces second birthday.
+
+Kind regards,
