I'm not convinced that establishing release goals will and deadlines speed the release process. For example, a prominent release goal for sarge will be debian-installer, since we cannot release without it. Will telling the d-i developers "you must be finished by <arbitrary date>" bring it to completion faster? -- - mdz
