Feature Freeze is at 17 weeks, which is where its been for the past
couple of cycles, and most of the teams have made up their work plans to
it already, so not much chance to shift earlier.   We will be trying to
get the workitems and blueprints tracking a bit better this time around,
so that you can figure out when features are done before FeatureFreeze,
and start working on those a bit earlier, at least.
