This is somewhat like what I had in my mind to write too, but you beat
me to it :)
It could allow us to adapt a little for upstream releases.
But should we then decide that the limit is +/- 1 month ?
Obviously there will still be people complaining that "you waited 10
months... if you had extended with ~2 more weeks... "this" or "that"
package would have been available too... and so on....
And something not to forget (this is more related to the specs):
If an estimated upstream release of kde/gnome/... seem to fit our
schedule it _must_ be in Cauldron before version freeze so we
actually get some test/qa on it and not try to force it in by
"hey it's released ~x days before final mageia release so it
must be added" attitude that tends to pop up at every freeze.
