Wouldn't this also call for a more defined point in time for the actual
releases? :-P

Seriously, you've been calling for opinions on when to release rc1
within the Oct 27-29 time frame but didn't follow up on it before late
Monday (early Tuesday for me), even though you *did* receive some
feedback. This makes it hard to plan how/when to steal time from real
life to improve the to-be-released code.

If we're able to define definite release dates and patch closure windows
in the RC phase, then that's just fine and I'm happy to agree with your
policy. But if we're not (which wouldn't be surprising for a volunteer
project like ours), I'd still prefer to handle this with the current
flexibility rather than an additional straightjacket.
