The "two part" meetings were both about critical blockers that were
known and actively being worked on at the time of the meeting. This
situation will happen no matter what day the Go/No-Go meetings are on.

The question asked is if having this "soft deadline" style is
acceptable, or if we should stick to documented procedure where the
release should have slipped at both those occations.

While it's nice that we did not slip further (esp for me meeting users
on the 11-13 Nov at FSCONS), it at the same time sets the wrong tone
about seriousness of having critical bugs discovered such late in the
process, and creates an enormous amount of stress and uncertainty for
everyone involved.

I do not think it's a healthy sign to have as many tc+rc spins as we had
this time. In how many of these respins were issues not reproducible
during a netinstall?
