A tight timesecale to force business users to upgrade. 9.2 is the main release today (8.4 old, & 10.0 risky) 9.3 not even released just RC3. Northern hemisphere is 3 weeks off August when some whole countries (eg .fr) virtually close down on holiday, & others don't get much done 'till after 1st week in Sept. Slip 9.2 EOL one month to 31st Oct. & it'll give many business sys admins a much better window.
