The different projects (snappy, snapcraft, etc) have benefitted greatly
from rapid iteration cycles. Moving to GA will slow those cycles
drastically.

Can Ubuntu Core 16 GA be timed to coincide with 16.04.1? That's a natural
point to solidify and stabilize our offerings: The base will have had
more polishing, making the core more stable and more reliable. The rest
of the archive will have had more polishing, making snapcraft a more
pleasant experience. The documentation will be better then.

And having a date a little further in the future will give developers
more time to experiment, learn, file bugs, and iterate with us as we
get closer to release day.

Thanks
