I'm a bit concerned with the code freeze date falling right after kubecon, where maintainers/reviewers will come back after a week away to an inbox full of notifications and there will a lot of last minute PRs that want to get in before code freeze... Not sure if there is another way

We're doing something similar for this current release with Kubecon NA so we can see how that works out I guess?

@CecileRobertMichon that is right, it is the same for the current release cycle and this was kind of discussed when adding v1.6 timeline doc: #8901 (comment)

I think my point is that if this current release cycle doesn't work out well with the code freeze right after kubecon we should consider amending the timeline for 1.7, but we won't know until after we do the code freeze for 1.6.

As discussed in today's (1/11/23) office hours and pointed out by @CecileRobertMichon, we will see how it works out with the current release cycle and decide based on that for the 1.7 release.

But looks like we already have a 19 weeks cycle, we probably shouldn't extend this further otherwise the other two release cycles will become even shorter in 2024
