I think the deadline is more like something to connected to Feature
Freeze. ~After Feature Freeze we know what's in the cycle. If a project
requests a Feature Freeze Exception, then of course, the FF will happen
somewhere between official FF date (Milestone 3) and RC1, and hopefully
closer to Milestone 3 date than RC1 date.
I understand that PTLs are busy with reviewing the last feature patches,
but I think this is more like a best effort, too, to prepare it as soon
as possible, after the Feature Freeze.
I don't know when exactly the Marketing team is processing the cycle
highlights, but I guess they also handles these a bit flexible way.
Probably to generally state that highlights are only needed by RC1 would
give them much less time, more postponed / missing docs handling / more
hurry. So while I think we have a bit of a flexibility with the deadline
(1-2 working days don't really count), the best is to try to prepare it
as soon as possible. Anyone from the Marketing team or from Release
team, correct me if i'm wrong.
