We release approximately in April and October with a six month cadence. 

After the complaints about communication, there have been weekly status
updates and the release dates were also *clearly* shown in there for
when the release was planned. Incidentally, if those aren't useful,
Stephen and I can stop doing them.

Its not unreasonable to assume the branch for release happens sometime
before the first rc build of the release.

Cheers,
