Sven, I think it is still more pleasant to see the announcement "Our
team have decided to postpone the RC release. Please, hold on - we
will provide you with details in couple of weeks". That is it.

Noone expects from anyone any obligations. But it feels way better if
we communicate to people that we remember about them waiting for the
release, that we care about the dates stated in KOffice wiki.

It is the same as call a person to warn that You might be late - the
person may get somehow sad but you will still be trusted. If You do
not show up at the meeting which was previously scheduled and did not
call to warn about that - that leaves You with no trust from that
person.
