Thanks OP, a verry useful summary, keep it going!!
I will be disappointed if no premium content is released in the Q1 update.
I'm sure Q1 will be premium content. As to the new paid for premium content, they have not said when it will be coming out and they haven't revealed it yet. I suspect it will come out at the same time as the Q4 update.
I have a feeling that the paid content will come with the 2 x Content Updates, since those 2 are a lot smaller than the Q1 and Q4 ones.
That timeline is one of the most "non-imformational" graphics ever designed!
It tells you absolutely nothing about when on the actual calendar we will see any of these 2018 updates.

The Chieftain and the Krait were both introduced at the end of the section of the Frontier Expo talk that started with Sandro Sammarco introducing what was to come in Q1. It was actually straight after the Cheiftain and Krait reveal finished that Edward Lewis introduced the next section of the talk with 'So after the quarter one update....', which would indicate that everything prior to that statement was Q1.I don't think the Krait and Chieftain are actually confirmed for the Q1 update, Frontier has only stated that they are coming during Beyond sometime, so it could be anytime in 2018:

I do agree that Frontier have been very unclear about this and I would like some clarification / confirmation from them. If the two ships are not intended to be in Q1 then they have presented a very misleading talk at the expo, which I for one will be very unhappy about. As far as I am concerned, from how they presented it at the expo, I expect them both to come in Q1.
