Any reason why it's only five months instead of the usual 6+ months. I know shorter release cycles have been threatened before, but I don't remember it actually happening.

Because we're hoping to stabilize the 6 month cycle, and the sensible time for stabilizing a fall release is the end of October. Any sooner and we won't have enough time to get out a decent release. Any later and we'll be vulnerable to the dreaded "winter holiday" if we slip.
