Certainly. I think the more details stakeholders are willing to give us, though, the more flexible we can be. If a forge says, "we're about 75% done, but our CI product needs another month," that's a more compelling argument than, "well, we just need another month for reasons," especially if their previous deadline has already slipped (which tends to happen on software projects, as we all know).

For open source projects, of course, seeing progress is relatively easy. Many companies may have alpha or beta programs and could share that status with us if they don't wish to be more specific.
