I agree, I think its odd to make a lengthy 10 month schedule and then
not add on 2-4 weeks to grab the final version of GNOME.  Within 2
months Ubuntu, Fedora and Mandriva will have new releases with a
6-months-newer GNOME.

However, we have these types of things as an on going problem.  Perhaps
we should consider things in the context of the longer term ie 11.2 as
it relates to 11.3 and beyond.  For instance, moving to hard 9 month
schedule would at least allow us to ensure that every other release
coincided nicely with either GNOME or KDE.
