I do not want to commit to set dates, unless I am sure we have the developer 
base to support such a commitment. The reason X3 3.0.0 is so late is in part 
due to a lack of bug fix contributions. Please don't get me wrong, I would 
love fixed dates, but I just cannot see how we can realize them with the 
current resources yet.
