My experience in software development says it's more likely than not that some "imperfection" could come up, and if it's bad enough it could even delay it.  Having given a vague idea of a timeframe, now he's stuck between a rock and hard place.  If he delays then it gives ammo to the crowd who speculated it was a joke possibly leading to a tantrum spiral, and if he doesn't delay and it has a hard crash or something then that could cause a tantrum spiral.

Actually, sounds like fun either way.   ;D

Actually... this might be a face saving move...
"I should have it ready by April 1st... but if I'm NOT I can always say it was an april fools joke and they won't complain about a late release..."

edit:
O_O! JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! THE ACTUAL JOKE MIGHT BE IN THE PROGRAM WE DOWNLOAD AND INSTAL!

If this is the case. No one is to make a wiki article, or spill the beans for 1 full week -_- understand? ALL MUST SUFFER THE MENTAL ANGUISH!
