A tight timesecale to force business users to upgrade.  9.2 is the
main release today (8.4 old, & 10.0 risky) 9.3 not even released
just RC3.  Northern hemisphere is 3 weeks off August when some whole
countries (eg .fr) virtually close down on holiday, & others don't
get much done 'till after 1st week in Sept.  Slip 9.2 EOL one month
to 31st Oct. & it'll give many business sys admins a much better window.

Cheers,
Julian
