There are no *exact* dates until the final -RELEASE is cut. Watching -hackers will give you ideas of when stuff is coming up because they'll announce the official -BETA cutoff date, etc. I saw the 2.2.6-BETA warning a while ago, which is why I'm mentioning 2.2.6. Of course, they could find stuff horribly broken and throw 2.2.6 back for more work..
