I noticed that today's RC1 announcement mentions that 4.2 is expected in January.
So we should probably publish the 4.2 schedule on TechBase soonish.

I think we should keep the same schedule from 4.1,
except time-shifted forward 6months, like so:

Sun 19 Oct: Soft Feature Freeze
Tue 21 Oct: Tag Alpha1
Tue 28 Oct: Release Alpha2
Tue 18 Nov: Message Freeze
Tue 18 Nov: Tag Beta1
Tue 25 Nov: Release Beta1
Tue  9 Dec: Tag Beta2 
Tue 16 Dec: Release Beta2 
Tue  6 Jan: Tag RC1
Tue 13 Jan: Release RC1
Tue 20 Jan: Tag 4.2
Tue 27 Jan: Release 4.2
