hello Chris,

apologies for barging in on the developers list but i didn't want to 
miss the opportunity for registering my enthusiastic approval for such 
an effort.  this for sure is a valuable tool for people like me who are 
asked to help plan for future releases of a product that depends on 
GeoServer.

two additional things you might want to consider:

a. add dates (tentative ones or year quarters are fine) for releases 
beyond the next immediate one.

b. give an idea about the end-of-life period/date of earlier versions.  
this would help planning for conversion between different versions of 
the GeoTools and other libraries for oragnizations that use the same 
versions as those in GeoServer.
