Valid point, thanks for keep our "customers" in mind!

As I like short cycles and frequent releases rather than the opposite, I then
suggest we move the release date yet another week earlier to December 12
instead and change the feature freeze date a week as well:

  - Nov 21 - feature freeze (one week shorter period than normal)
  - Dec 12 - release (six weeks since the previous)

And then sync up the following releases from that point with the regular 8
week cycles again:

  - Jan 9 - feature freeze (for weeks since release)
  - Feb 6 - release (eight weeks since previous release)

...

Of course, this is all assuming nothing major happens and we have to insert
a "panic" release at an point in this schedule!
