So long that 3rd period doesn't count as an active period except on my penalty box LPAR. But I wouldn't say that is good for everyone. Depending on the environment someone may a want shorter 2nd period and have some other TSO work fall into 3rd period and may not even want it to be discretionary. We can make general recommendations, but there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to WLM and everything is relative to everything else, so it really doesn't make sense to talk about one environment's specific importance and velocity goals if you don't have a complete picture.
