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).
