If you don't have an idea of what to target for your release (or when to target your release), then the release doesn't actually happen. We've seen that happen in the past. The Etch and Lenny release cycles worked OK for us and were specifically aimed at 18-24 schedules. Or would you claim that they weren't ready? Freezing to a schedule will still give us all the control we need in terms of actually stabilising for release. >A time-based freeze could mean for some teams that they'll have to >stop work basically for months to a year.
