OK, here start the problems. Development already started, so April 1st is
already 5 months development. Add 1 month because no one is willing to
hold people to these dates. So that's 6 months. Then for 6 months of
development, you need at least 2 months of beta. So we're already in the
middle of July, everyone is on vacation, and we'll easily reach the 9
months -- instead of 6.
