Well, it being this way is good. Because they still reserve the right to say it will take longer. And unless something like that goes wrong they can just have this. At least I can understand this though, because if its a trend too long then its like they're endorsing it as a predictor. Thanks.

The release date was given in this Live Letter, and all the translations I've found just say that Yoshi-P commented on the predictability of the patch release date, not saying anything about wanting to break the trend.
Maybe the translation i received was bad then. It was translated that he mentioned wanting to break the trend.
