I understand that.

It's just an idea, I don't have your experience in the subject. I
proposed it because I saw different topics arising:
* There's specific groups that could have used some attention or
guidance might have come useful.
* We are talking about acting like a team, discussing about the
subject beforehand can help to see them coming.

On the other hand you are correct. It's time-based releases and we can
just wait and put a red light on the feature freeze.
