Hmm....

I don't think Jan 2012 is a good release target. It's too short
development time.
And I hope 1.9.4 has ~2 month feature freezing length for keeping quality as
past releases. So, I think March or April is best target. Jun is acceptable
on boundary. Probably July is too late, it might make bad side effect to 2.0
release schedule.
