That seems fine to me.  One thing some people might raise (which I don't 
think matters) is that Fedora 12 won't be released before we start on a 
name for Fedora 13.  The original dates were drafted before Fedora 12 
slipped.

This also shorts the legal review by three work days which might cause 
problems.... might not.  It's hard to know how much the "weekend" buys 
in this case because it is a holiday weekend in the US.
