I based it on what can be verified, released versions:

Emacs 13: cannot find traces of this
Emacs 14: 1984?
Emacs 15: 1985
Emacs 16: 1986
Emacs 17: 1986
Emacs 18.1: earlier than 1986-11-23?
Emacs 18.31: 1986-11-23
Emacs 18.59: 1992-10-30
Emacs 19.1: between 1992-10-30 and 1993-05-22?
Emacs 19.7: 1993-05-22
Emacs 19.34b: 1996-08-21
Emacs 20.1: 1997-09-15
Emacs 21.1: 2001-10-20

3-4 year seem to be optimistic, rather than exaggerated, if looking at
the last 15 years.

Of course, I hope that CVS HEAD will be out soon, but I'll trust you
when I see it. ;-)
