anybody knows why so earlier?

Also, is the next release going to be in March 2017, or still be in May?

Maybe the company that prints the CD's has become faster? The release was tagged 10 days ago, and I believe previously the reason for the delay between the tagging in CVS and the actual release was due to the speed of which CDs/DVDs could be pressed.

The 5.9 release was early this year. Having 6.0 early actually fits the usual 6 month cadence.

I think it's because there are significant improvements that they want to get out to stable.

No point delaying the release if all planned features are complete, I suppose.
