That sounds very sensible to me.

Thanks, it was an oversight.  I've updated the list once again, adding
the missing beta release, the 3rd stable release to the end, and
changing the beta/rc version numbers to match up with the GNOME
version numbers:

Date   Banshee     GNOME schedule
11-18  1.5.2       unstable release
12-02  1.5.3       unstable release
12-23  1.5.4       unstable release
01-11              announce string/UI changes
01-13  1.5.5       unstable release
01-18              API freeze
01-25              feature freeze
01-27  1.5.6       unstable release
02-08              UI freeze
02-10  1.5.90      beta release
02-24  1.5.91      beta release
03-10  1.5.92      RC release
03-31  1.6.0     stable release
04-28  1.6.1     stable release
05-0?  1.7.0     unstable release
06-??  1.6.2     stable release
