The dates sound good, at least on master side of things. I've got a bunch of half-done stuff on the compaction/flush/split side of things that I've been holding off on until the master stuff pushes through. I suspect 6/22 is enough time to finish my stuff, but I may not have all patches up by 6/15. I'll keep that as the target and see how far I can get. I'd really like to at least get the refactor and HBASE-2375 in before the dev release, some of the other changes can wait.
Also, +1 on doing a dev release of the hadoop branch to ship the dev release with. Part of the way we can get it tested is by putting it out there to the community.
