June, yes. July, frankly, no, because July == September, when it comes
to any such scheduling. At least in the countries where my clients are
:)

-1. Frankly, if advocacy people said it would be there, they didn't
tell the truth, and that's their problem. If they said "hopefully it
will be there, but we don't know yet", then they don't have a problem
either way.

Not having our release schedule driven by marketing is a *strength* of
our project!

We made the mistake last time to delay the release significantly for a
single feature. It turned out said feature didn't make it *anyway*.
Let's not repeat that mistake.
