Of course that doesn't necessarily help. What the people who want
releases on a fixed date *really* want is to know exactly what will
appear in those releases, and *that* we can't give them in advance,
absent time travel.

It is very hard to explain this to managers, even managers in the
brokerage industry (who you'd think would have a better grasp than
most of the unpredictabilty of events).
