That is 3 months after the release of M010. 2 to 3 months between releases is pretty typical.

WHY do you feel a 3 month maintenance release schedule is too long, making it late?

While there are many companies (system admins) who do not install initial releases of PTC products (me being one) It does take PTC a little bit of time to get feedback and serious issues fixed for a new maintenance release. From initial F000 code release to M040/M050 within 1 year would be some quick turn around on bug fixes. I am perfectly happy waiting 9 months or more before installing a new version into production.

It's true that it's normal having a 3 month release schedule for maintenance releases. I suspect that Rohit hoped that the M020 would be quicker as there are two of the significant core upgrades for Creo 4.0, 3D-sweep and Mirror Overhaul.

It's mixed emotions for me. Creo 4.0 is a a really nice upgrade with quite a significant overhaul of the workflow interface. However, it took 2,5 year between Creo 3.0 and 4.0, longest ever, and then they still had to pull back two of the major core upgrades for the F000 release. On top of that there were discussions earlier that the Symbols in Detail was in the plan to be updated for 4.0 but that was also pulled back and is now planned for 5.0.
