604 Pointsbug in delete `planned` variable challenge?
See attached code. I'm willing to accept I'm making a mistake here...but it works in the REPL.
current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del(planned)

I think in this case they want you to use del in a way that makes it clear that it is a keyword and not a function call.
