The subtext here is that people are trying to decide what they intend to
shoot for in this cycle, and so they are asking Core what the schedule
target is. You really misunderstand the dynamics. 8.0 didn't start out
to be what it ended up being; there was no master plan, and never has
been. The most organization we've ever had is for Core to set a feature
freeze target date well in advance.
