Hi, 
in case someone will still listen to me...

1. In my eyes, the essence of the blog post is a denial of taking 
responsibility, expressed on a highly abstracted level. The question at hand is 
concrete, not "version X". Even if the answer is not clear, you can inform the 
interested reader about a (revision of a)  planned schedule.

2. May I politely point out again, that there is a website

https://cwiki.apache.org/OOOUSERS/aoo-40-release-planning.html

containing a "Proposed Release Schedule"?

Of course I don't take such a schedule for absolutely granted, but it *is* a 
published schedule. Google search "release aoo 4.0" first rank. For anyone with 
a busy work life not following the mailing list, random blog posts, twitter, 
facebook, or anything like that,  this seems to be *the* point of easy to find, 
seemingly official  information. With a random multitude of information 
channels, an "outsider" has to rely on something stable, where yesterday's 
information is not hidden behind newer entries.

If plans are changed, I assume that the information on that website is changed. 
Does this assumption has some logic to it?

If so, why is it not done? Because in an open source project no one is 
responsible for something he/she doesn't *feel* to be responsible for?

Kind regards, Hans
