I was just thinking today that we could put the expected release dates on the version in JIRA. Didn't occur to me to put it on the web site. If we did, it could link to the JIRA roadmap that shows the issues that were slated for that release. I'm not so sure doing any of this will absolve us from having to answer the question of when stuff is coming out though, but it would allow us to provide a link as an answer which I always prefer.
