It is a point to address, but it doesn't have to be a big issue, if both
groups can work together.
IIRC the release dates are accepted with some kind of consensus. This means
that a core advocacy group would have a say.
Also, I don't see that press releases necessarily has to be made at the last
minute. All the features of a major release will be in place weeks before the
release date as there always will be beta testing.
