That's likely intentional? My employer doesn't give timelines either because of how hard it is to predict software development times.

Yes this is intentional. There are a couple reasons:

(1) It really depends on how much community feedback we get. If we’re planning feature A but suddenly loads of people want feature B, we’re gonna reprioritize and change timelines.

(2) People get really, really, really upset when you don’t hit your timeline. Its sort of a lose/lose for us. So, we use keep them close to heart.
