+100. It can't be timed the way it is currently suggested, nothing will be  
ready by that measure.

The idea is that people work on the bundles. Bundles can be rejected if  
they are found to be lacking, before the merge. I do agree that an early  
bundle date is good, since it makes it possible for people like me (who  
will likely be working on the UI for most of the bundles where needed) to  
participate much more easily.

Wichert is officially the release manager for 3.0, yes.
