As pointed out by Dongjoon, the 2nd half of December is the holiday season in most countries. If we do the code freeze in mid November and release the first RC in mid December. I am afraid the community will not be active to verify the release candidates during the holiday season. Normally, the RC stage is the most critical period to detect the defects and unexpected behavior changes. Thus, starting the RC in the next January might be a good option IMHO.
