That works for me. We can work out the fine specifics when we get closer
(I have a couple of things in mind that I'd like to iron out first), but
I'm not opposed to making it weeks instead of "weeks".

This isn't really making things easier for just the Ubuntu Release Team.
Even if we still kept to a strict schedule, we don't have to worry about
people testing with old installs (see my point to Oliver about the
"pristine" ISOs).

Thanks for the email.
