I don't think anyone is suggesting we change it; I think the
suggestion is 'say something vague now and get it out', and announce
specific dates later. This seems reasonable to me- there is still much
discussion to be had about how long GUADEC should be, and I'd hate to
pin us down now on that issue, and I'd hate to delay this announcement
any longer.

So I vote announce 'June 2006' ASAP, and figure out exact dates soon
but without blocking other things.
