I agree here.  I'm not sure how the i18n and docs teams are supposed
to do their jobs if they have to track dozens of different schedules.

Maybe those teams should only devote resources to an application on
the occasion that a release matches up with the GNOME schedule?  This
would allow for apps to have more or less frequent releases, but at
the same time encourage them to have their releases match up with the
GNOME schedule whenever possible.
