The release team did an example layout of what it could look like. We'd
likely add a bit of time to the stabilisation period, and likely do
feature freeze before the end-of-year holidays, allowing for a bit of
relax period before we run the final release mile / enter the PTG prep
tunnel.

Having more time definitely opens up options :)
