IMHO, because we have enough new features to justify a new release.

I don't think v2.04 will be out before a year passes from the day we
start the release cycle.  As I mentioned, even 2.03 took 9 months.

We could try this, but more realistically I'd think April 2003.

We feature freeze once the first alpha is released.  That's by
definition.  We still have enough flexibility when we decide what is a
new feature... ;-)
