I wouldn't consider it a fail if we decided to shift the freeze date by
two months [1], especially if this move helps project members to 
integrate
better supported versions for their packages. Eventually, it would help 
us
to have a better quality release and enhance its supportability over the
years.

Having that said, it would be nice to hear from Ben if it would be 
doable
to go with 4.9 or with a 4.10rc for some time.

[1] only a few persons seem to have noted those dates anyway (imho).
