The Test Day schedule is usually going to be incorrect if there's any
disagreement. It's updated by anyone involved with test days who
remembers to do it, while the announcement is obviously Official, as is
the wiki schedule and the one in jreznik's fp space (SO MANY SCHEDULES)

I don't think FESCo considered the test day schedule at all in deciding
to move up the freeze date. To be fair, those of us QA folks who were at
the FESCo meeting completely forgot it might be an issue and didn't
mention it when asked about QA concerns about moving the freeze :( Sorry
about that.
