Hi Samiso,
 
personally I don't share your fear of mentioning release dates. Of course I can 
only speak as a user/customer. Having officially published release dates 
available increases the trust. It somehow shows some professionalism, a planned 
course of action.
 
I also think a "proposed" or planned feature list might never be complete 
irrespective any date given. So interested users will always start to get in 
contact with you about missing feature. Or they at least see other priorities 
and try to influence the order in which you are going to implement the features.
 
Having dates which can be trusted is especially important for your corporate 
customers as they have to align their own project/release planning accordingly.
 
Just my 0.2 cents on it...
 
Regards,
    Eric
 
PS: Sorry for the html-crap - right now I have to use some web access.

And also, if we are to present this to the public (either free or
subscribed), do we need to mention the dates and release numbers? In
case of WSF/PHP, we have not mentioned any dates or release numbers.
IMHO, if we do not have those, it is more likely people would connect
with us and ask "when can I have that feature X".
