In order to be responsive to Red Hat marketing/PR's request that major 
things like releases happen earlier in the week rather than later, we 
are moving the release day from Thursday to Tuesday.

The Tuesday closest to May 1 2008 is April 29th, and so that is the 
initial Fedora 9 target.

Similarly, the Tuesday closest to Halloween 2008 is October 28th, and 
that is probably what we will shoot for next year.
