Summary of opinions on this thread:

- Tom thinks the RMT should consider extending by a day or two.
- Stephen agrees.
- Alvaro proposes allowing more time next time, but not to change the
dates for this time.
- Andres and Dave agree with Alvaro's surprise about the selected
date, but it's not clear whether they want to change things now or
just for next time.
- Robert thinks that the RMT shouldn't presume to vary the dates
without a broad consensus, and somewhat favors not extending.

Other views?
