On release day counting in days doesn't make much sense - and wouldn't help to<br>
tell wether 12 UTC is 13 or 14 o'clock either - which it does now.<br>

It turned into "3.16 in packaging since 2020-10-23 12:00:00 UTC".<br>
There's no fixed ETA for the packages to count down to.<br>

It just filling a little bit of otherwise white void with useful information<br>
for some. On the main page cecause that's very easy to find, but small because<br>
it's only useful for some.<br>
<br>
I'll admit that it very simple and not a piece of art anytime.<br>

<br>
Because we decided to not announce the release when it happens, but once<br>
packages are available. That's also why it says "in packaging" and "released".<br>
I sticked with "next release" though - and didn't come up with an less awkward<br>
version of "next date to enter packaging".<br>
<br>
Once the packaging is done, the version numbers are updated and the countdown<br>
output changes from the previously upcoming release to the next.<br>
<br>

<br>
Why would he? The information on the front page is IMHO much easier to find.<br>
The roadmap is a bunch of clicks or a search away - if you don't have a<br>
bookmark (which I still don't have).<br>
