In the F-11 schedule, we had 85 days between Feature Freeze and GA. And then GA slipped by two weeks.
In the F-12 schedule, we now have 99 days between Feature Freeze and GA.
This seriously cuts into development time, and we already have a shorter releases cycle.
Why is that?
At least one week of this (that I recall) is to have the feature freeze be a week before the 'code freeze' for the milestone; the idea is that to avoid the 'all features land at once, and we have to spend a week cleaning them up' problem.
Had that last time too:
