Updated G2D Schedule

[Jeff Waugh <jdub perkypants org>]

Hi all,

We have a newly updated schedule, which will be a relief to many - but
certainly not an excuse to close your bugzilla windows and go cycling!

It's simply a result of having ~250 'high' or greater priority bugs [1],
which is far too high for a serious release candidate. Thus, we've added
another three week release period, and called the current release target
"Beta 4":
