I think this is way too aggressive. This means basically next to nothing
that is not already has prepared RC gets into 7, since only discussion +
vote would take at least a month for anything substantial, and you have
to also work on RFC and patch. And not everybody has time to work on all
this fulltime, and some discussions can be slow or long-winded.

I think Zeev's timeline looks much better in this regard. I think GA
mid-October 2015 sounds a bit optimistic, but who knows, maybe it's me
that it too pessimistic :)
