I usually aim to have my major work for the release code complete by approximately September and committed by December or January. Then if it slips, I still have a chance of finishing before the freeze, and if it doesn't, then I don't have to deal with the mad flurry of activity at the end, and perhaps there's even time for some follow-up work afterwards (as in the case of IB), or just time to review some other patches. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
