I think we can overplay the need for lots of rules here and the need to chase up status every 5 minutes. The first problem, in previous years, was patches spent too long on the patch queue. That is now solved, AFAICS, at least to my satisfaction. The second problem was spending >4 months on code consolidation at last commitfest before we go to beta. We are unlikely to avoid that just by saying "it will be two weeks"; trying to force it will cause arguments, waste developer time and possibly endanger code quality. AFAICS we are on track for a much improved situation than before and I'm personally happy with that also.
