 The slip should not need to accumulate resulting in a 4 week open 
period.  Give yourself 8 or 12 weeks if you think that would give enough 
time to land some bigger things, then stabilize them.

Actually, that reminds me.  Why does the trunk freeze during all the 
rc's?  why not at the first rc, create a support branch for bug fixes, 
and then let the development continue on the trunk?  Is it that you are 
trying to force people to work with the rc in order to ring it out, and 
you want to encourage people that might be interested in the new stuff 
to ring out the old first?
