Well, here's the problem:

Jan:       Spring semester start
Apr - May: Spring semester final exams
Jun:       Large conferences (USENIX, WWDC, etc)
Jul - Aug: European Summer Holiday
Sep - Oct: Fall semester start, security advisory season
Nov - Dec: USA Holidays, religious holidays, fall semester final exams

So the only good time to do a release in in Feb-Mar.

Scott
