Personally I'm worried I'll go nuts if I have to wait this long for the relaxations.
I guess it depends on your situation.
Amongst parents of school age children (based on my Whatsapp chats with friends/family) it's bordering on euphoria. Getting children out of the house and back into school in a couple of weeks restores a lot of sanity for both children and parents. Relaxations in time for the summer holidays. The summer half term (May 29 - June 6) also nicely after another set of restrictions lifted.

Yeah this my single friends or those without children less impressed.
I await the plans for Quarantine rules for visiting family abroad now.

I'm supposed to be away that week with my sister-in-law, her family and my in-laws. The cottage was booked for her 40th last year but delayed. Looks like it can't happen this year either. I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or relived.

I get that it's not been so bad for us but son rather wants to be in school as well and he's missing out on lots of cool school clubs which may still be closed for a while (yey...)
I still think cautious approach is safer virus wise. I might be too pessimistic though we will know in a few months :)

Inside, yep. I can only hope that @Stonehedge is right, and that after getting their hands burnt several times lifting restrictions too early this is a very conservative plan.
However, the argument for spacing out the relaxations is based on making the changes then allowing time to make sure that they haven't resulted in infection rates increasing, as recommended by Chris Whitty.
Hopefully this is an exercise in expectation management, and if things go faster than 'expected' the relaxations will happen faster.
