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.
