FWIW, while I'm sure we had a reason (back at the Ottawa 2016 meeting)
for limiting the final 'fest to just a month, I'm quite sure we did
not allow for most of the senior hackers being at a conference during
the last week of that time. So I now concur with Bruce's suggestion
that a week's delay would be suitable.
In past years this sort of decision would have been taken by -core,
and given the number of core members who have already weighed in
on this thread, I think Bruce's proposal would have passed easily.
But since we just delegated the setting of feature freeze to the RMT,
they are the ones who ought to do it.
