Actually, I think that time-based releases make planning fairly easy.

There *will absolutely* be a Zope (2&3) feature freeze and beta release
November 1 (or sooner if we think that this leaves too little time for
a beta cycle).

There *will* be a final release in December, come hell or high water.

If you think this is to ambitious, then lets move the freeze/beta up
to give us more time for bug fixes, say October 1?
