Anyway, if the main thing holding up *this* release is bugfixes, doing a new release in 3 months shouldn't be a problem, as after all, we've already fixed those bugs this time around. :)
3 month for a new release cycle is just too short. We should not follow the IMO broken concept of "release early, release often" but to follow "release regular, release solid". At least me I refuse to release something just for the sake of making a release at a certain date.
The goal is not release early, release often, but to get back to our regular release schedule. After all, we already had 3 months to add code to Zope 2 and Zope 3 trunk that will be included in the next release, as I believe they branched at the time. Could you explain the reasons for the coming 3 months being too short in this particular case? What features are we adding to Zope 2 or Zope 3 that make it too short and thus would result in a not-solid-enough release? I think the egg-story is one candidate for being too big, and a possible reason to shift the release schedule. Then again, we do not need the egg story to land in the upcoming release anyway.
