True.

I am not sure how it would help to place the release day immediately
after the off-week everybody has stayed off the keyboard, though.  I
would prefer to see fully working weeks during the pre-release
period so that people can work on last minute regression fixes, so I
hoped it would work much better to release before the holiday week
begins, rather than after it ends.

But of course I am open to inputs.  FYI, I plan to be offline _after_
the Thanksgiving week.
