That's true, and the schedule will most probably change.

Yes, which will be announced when BETA state begins, I assume. PRERELEASE isn't BETA (yet). > And an other main purpose is to do planning of the upgrade Uhm, would you please explain? What kind of upgrade depends on entering the pre-release state? When you're tracking -stable, then now is neither better nor worse a time for updating, except for the fact that -- due to the code freeze -- the code might have a tendency to stabilize better than before, because MFCs and commits that aren't bug fixes are held off.
