Well, from "Subject: Release update: Qt, arts, arm, yes; freeze date,
no" by Steve:

Hmm, Joey's plan breaks Steve's initial plan something? (at least RC2
release date and full freeze date)

Do we need to have more test time after release RC2? Or RC2 release is
really final version and release full Sarge at same time or soon
later? (although this is RM's decision)
