IMHO, the roadmap should say what features are targeted for future releases but not time frames. By limiting features we can also limit times. This started with the notion that maybe future releases should address bugs and one major new feature so we could release production builds more often.

Oh -- sorry -- that was just a "serving suggestion" for strut-dev to
kind of indicate what time frame 1.2 might come out in and what the
development duration might be.

Remember, the impetus for doing the roadmap in the first place was about
figuring out the urgency of including some particular feature in 1.1,
and without having a well-defined 1.2 with some kind ballpark estimate
of when it was going to be available, it was hard to make the call about
including that feature.

I do think it is within scope of a roadmap to set expectations about the
relative frequency of releases. Note that this may not necessarily
imply a specific time duration, but it should communicate the feeling of
the developers about how frequently releases (at least of a particular
level in the versioning hierarchy) will come out.
