Notice that this would bring us to begining of october, and the RM's
release plan did say :

        * October 1st

                Drop the RC bug list by ~150 bugs to ~100
                (via removals, fixes and workarounds)

                1st test cycle, public request for comments

                Last minute fixes and changes to the installer

But then, you are acting as if the RM's release plan is no more
accurate, and that we will delay to July 2004 or something such.
