Indeed..  And, further, the commitfest wasn't intended to prevent
committers from working on things, at least as I understood it.  Core
sets a feature freeze date which is quite a different thing.

Considering feature freeze is generally after the last commitfest it
also seems counter-intuitive that committers are expected to have
finished all of their work for the next release prior to the start of
the last commitfest.
