I still do not see the point. Do you mean you do not want to work between 13th to 17th of November that would be the "final regression hunt in -rc2" week? If you have a specific reason to expect a post-release bug hunt, that would change the equation, but otherwise, I am not sure what you are trying to achieve, compared to the original plan to tag on 20th, give developers week off after the release for Thanksgiving or whatever the excuse to take a week off in your parts of the world. The users will be taking the holiday week and will be slow after the release anyway, and developers work should also happen more before the release and not after it, no?
