This is a good point. In a global project like Ubuntu there is probably no week that won't cause problems for someone, somewhere. I think that it is probably best to vary the time between release and UDS so that the same people aren't inconvenienced every year. I think having it 2 - 4 weeks after UDS is fine (I don't think the exact week in the schedule is critical) and so we should vary it to make sure the schedule doesn't cause problems for the same people every year.
