Flew it this Easter, booked it 15th August last year.
IIRC, the 'proper' Easter travel validity interval was amended around mid-August, before that the same dates for "Easter" travel for 2018 had been altered just for the year, and as Easter was very early 2018, and rather late this year. They must have discovered that many discounted I fare tickets were sold out of the actual Easter interval. My impression is that new dates are entered later now than just one or two years ago. Whilst Easter varies from late March to late April, Thanksgiving has a solid place in November, and the summer period July-Aug is also stationary, although previously, June was also included.
My advice is to wait one or two months. Personally, I'd be surprised not to see this fare available around the same dates as previous years.
Edit: Easter is 9 days earlier in 2020, compared to 2019
