So Repo freeze a week earlier (during Akademy) then beta and
everything else following two weeks earlier.

It takes us back to a 3 month release scheule rather than 3.5 months
which feels a bit too short for some people.  I don't know if people
were expecting to use that extra time for features or not.

There's also the issue that if we move for one distro we'll end up
with accusations of favouratism and requests for moving for other
distros.  But then maybe we do like openSUSE :)
