I don't recall seeing such a discussion... but I think we are now drifting 
too far off... I think the number of persons for which this is an issue is 
really limited and any date that we pick will be somewhat arbitrarily.

That said, I believe April 1st will satisfy everyone as:

- It is exactly 10 months after the first release;
- People will have the entire month to decide if they want to up their 
   month's limit or not;
- Some people will only realise at the end of the month that the release 
   was for real and not an April fools joke so they won't have this dilemma;
- The release of mga2 will coincide with my nieces second birthday.

Kind regards,

Remco
