I think we've been fine with the six months cycle and there's no
reason it would change, but having a few weeks to play with is nice,
which means it's impossible today to know if releases will happen  end
of September or early October.

And I don't think it is much of a worry, as we are keeping our 6
months schedule, and some little variability should be something all
distributions should accept.
