So be it.  As already drafted for the PSC meeting last night the 2.99 feature
freeze was moved four weeks ahead and extended for four weeks.  So the feature
freeze is now on 2017-09-15 (66 days away) and the 3.0 release on 2017-11-24
(136 days away).

I updated the schedule on the website accordingly (now fed from the google
sheet) to reflect the new dates.

The release release references were also rephrased a bit to make it clearer,
that while the new LTR is also the latest release, the long-term package
repositories are still updated from the previous LTR branch (rationale:
different versions in the two repositories with a "stabler" LTR version in the
ltr repository).
