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.
