Sure, and I did not want to blame anybody and especially did not want to
offense the Release Managers that did a great job. The "delays" had good
reasons and have been announce correctly and much in advance. I simply
wanted to point out, that the 6 months might be too tough and that we
better plan in more time to reduce the pressure we currently figure some
weeks before the scheduled feature freeze.
