They did a push of 2 months in 2006 ( 6.06 instead of 6.04 for Dapper
Drake ). But I think that was a isolated change, and Mark Shuttleworth
is pushing for keeping schedule. We were praised because we were not
late too :)

</I>><i> M8.5-M9: test period. Only bugs found there are fixed. As the cauldron

</I>
Well, that's the plan, with the release date come then the decision
about the freeze period, even if we got mixed signals here :
- we want longer freeze because that mean less bugs
- we also see that people always want to have freeze exception because
bugfixing is less fun that adding feature :)
So that warrant also another discussion ( even if I think the current
division is fine, but it could be adapted if the release model is
different ).
