The definition of "blocker" ticket must be adapted to the release calendar 
we choose to have. If the definition of blocker ticket is too inclusive, 
than it is just impossible to respect the rule of 1 release each 3 months 
approximatively. Then, the impact of many late blocker tickets becomes that 
we do 2 or 3 releases per year instead of 4. But this does not solves the 
problem. There will still exist some blocker tickets which will ask again 
for a lower frequency of releases at the end of each cycle. It may even 
make things even worse as releasing less often means we stabilize the 
development branch (rc) less often, which means it is harder to stablize 
it...
