I was rather surprised to see the March commitfest declared to exactly
one month and feature freeze immediately thereafter.  Last time around
we left 2 weeks between CF end and feature freeze; the previous one I
think we had the final CF last two months.  Not stretch on indefinitely,
but we know the final CF for a cycle takes more effort than previous
ones, so it seems reasonable to give more time.  We have a large number
of patches still waiting for review.
