For more accuracy you could try grabbing a local copy of the CVS repo with reposync and writing a script to carefully analyse the changes to every file across each release ever made, compare them to previous known release dates, do some kind of statistical analysis using a machine learning system, produce a mathematical model that approximates the mental processes of the developers involved, manually adjust the algo for known external factors then compute an estimated release date for 7.4. Or just wait until Monday.
