Mojang keep referring to either summer and autumn/fall (in the Northern hemisphere) when indicating release periods. These are purposely being somewhat vague as they don't want to publicly announce release dates.

Quarters, that is Q1 (Jan, Feb, Mar), Q2 (Apr, May, Jun), Q3 (Jul, Aug, Sep), and Q4 (Oct, Nov, Des), are not related to hemisphere, but doesn't correspond directly to summer/autumn/fall.

StateOfPsychosis want to change from seasons to quarters to "avoid confusion among users from separate hemispheres". This would lead to a translation either losing or shifting precision, and wouldn't aid clarity related to the intended purpose of indicating release period.

Adding a note to further clarify the clarification (by using quarters) just defeats the entire point of using the clarification in the first place.
