Nah. I think this actually shows the wisdom of Jim's approach to setting dates. Jim doesn't say anything until about a month to go, and then he delivers on date. The big plus is that he doesn't string you along, but I suppose the minus is that some people get frustrated feeling like they don't know what's coming.
GRRM, on the other hand, keeps on saying "maybe by X", "maybe by Y", which is basically stringing people along. I find
that more frustrating. But whatever. I'll read the next book whenever it comes out, and hope he doesn't die before he finishes the series.
