I'm a bit confused by this argument, because Monday is only the 
deadline, the last-possible day to release, not a recommended day. I'm 
going to do my 3.33.91 releases today most likely, or maybe tomorrow. 
Waiting until the deadline is very stressful IMO.

Personally, my favorite time to release is right after the release 
reminder gets sent out (Thursday night in America). But of course any 
time before the tarball deadline is fine for release team.

Yeah the freezes would surely move with the tarball deadline. There's 
no need to change that.
