I did not spot any complaints on that suggestion so I figure we should move in that direction.

Another adjustment to the cycle I think we can do is to even out the feature window and the feature freeze periods a little. A full three weeks for new features:

Like this:

RELEASE (on a Wednesday)

 10 days cool down (possiblity to decide to do a patch release)

FEATURE WINDOW (assuming nothing bad disturbed the peace)

 21 days

BUG-FIX PERIOD

 25 days of no new features/changes

RELEASE (on a Wednesday)
