I don't think that's appropriate, a six-month cadence seems fine and given
such a cadence it seems useful to look at what specific dates are useful
for distributors with such a cadence, but for mappings between
distributions and glibc versions we should just have a wiki page with
information about the glibc versions in different versions of major
distributions (perhaps one of the distribution contacts would like to
start such a page, then others add information about the versions of glibc
used in past versions of their distributions).
