Sorry for being unclear, but you misunderstood me. I completely agree
with the above.
My point was not having a (proposed) deadline makes me feel that I have
to drop everything in order a guarantee submitting a patch "on time."
You have already indicated that you would not necessarily wait for
Cygwin patches.
I would rather have clearly stated deadlines that are subject to change
(i.e., slippage). In this way, volunteers can better plan their time.
Can I play with my daughter now or should I submit a patch? Can I go
to sleep now or should I submit a patch? Etc.
