It's too approximatives, I don't see how hard it is to say:

25 December freeze

25 Januray First RC

25 Februrary Targeted Release date

do we want to change ui radically ? More than radical change, it's little 
details, like what should appears in the toolbar, or in the context menu, or 
in the settings, and that is something all applications need.
