I think that text failed to get updated since last fall :-(
At this point, 12 months would be counted from 4 Feb 2008, so
something like first-quarter-2009 seems more likely.
The core committee is currently working on a proposal to make to
pgsql-hackers about how to schedule and manage the 8.4 development cycle
--- I think it's obvious to everyone that 8.3 did not go the way we
wanted, so something's got to be done to avoid a repeat of that fiasco.
Expect something about this in the next day or so.
