But we do actually release on calendar year. While it seems not unreasonable that we might fail to ship in time, that would likely lead to one month, two months of delay. Four months? I don't think anybody even imagines such a long delay. It would be seen as utter, unacceptable failure of our release team.
All said, I think there's some merit to avoiding a PostgreSQL 13 release, because
there's enough superstition out there about the infamous "number 13."
Perhaps we could avert it by doing an "April Fool's Postgres 13" release?
