I think this is similar to how the phoenix browser is released. The 
phoenix developers have set milestones for each release and set 
approximate dates on each release, which they don't strictly adhere to. 
For example, for the 0.1-0.4 releases, a release day was specified (some 
were missed) and for the 0.5 release November was the release date, yet 
it wasn't released until December. The link below gives a great 
illustration of this...

I like this method because it breaks goals into managable tasks.
