That means after Friday May 20. Can we set a date?

Probably the Monday 23 after BoostCon is too early (?), so it might be, 
let's say, Monday May 30 for "Release branch closed for beta (bug fixes 
only)." ?

Sorry to ask this every now and then but it is useful to know w.r.t. my 
planning and schedule.

Thinking further, we are close to 2 months late then. So either we might 
expand this cycle to 6 months, or do something like I proposed above and 
have also the next cycle during longer (then 4 months), to get back into 
the normal schedule.

Thanks, Barend
