Because we integrate upstream software with phenomenal rate of change every release, Fedora milestones are never certain. We balance getting releases to our users with making those releases reliably high-quality, and so follow a middle path between "release when it's ready" and "release on specific dates". We plan to release on the target dates listed above, or if the Fedora_Program_Management/GoNoGoSOP Go/No-Go meeting decides we're not ready, on the rain dates. If the beta release is not ready even by the rain date, the final schedule will be pushed back correspondingly.
