It's also about New Year's Eve. A lot o
people usually take time off during
that period, as you probably know, and will not be available for releases
(stabilization, bugxifing, testfixing, etc).
IMO, we should either pick a date that is between Christmas and New Year's
Eve (though I don`t see much success in that either), or just release
around them, like +/- 1 week or something, that's if we don`t want to
promise stuff and end up delaying due to lack of people to fix release
issues.
That's what I've tried to do:
* M1 before christmas
* RC1 after christmas (one week after)
* Final after new year's eve (one week after)
That was the best dates I was able to find unless we want to postpone by 1 month more…
If you can think of better dates please suggest them. Note: I am not familiar with how previous year
releases around the holidays
worked out so, if, based on experience, you still consider that it's still
a good idea, please ignore my comments.
It's probably a bit chaotic but I feel
it's better than postponing by 1 month altogether, especially since want to be able to
start the 5.x cycle ASAP (we're all eager to start it :)) and also to slowly align it
to the beginning of the year.

Are we sure this is a realistic date?
I don't understand what you mean.
Because of Christmas? I already
mentioned that I gave it one more week as we usually do because of this.
I think we should reconsider this
now, instead of (almost certainly) delaying it on the spot, and looking
bad.
Any date is a good date. Even one week from now is good date. You just
need to adjust what you're going to tackle during the timeframe that's all
(that's called timeboxing).
