That would be an rather suicidal marketing stint even IBM won't pull.
Slipping a release with active customer commitments and IBM internal
commitments is not to be taken lightly. With DB2's integration into
SAP's release cycle that's now even less possible than ever.
DB2 [used to(?)] ship staged for different languages for reasons of
translation though.
