It's always possible to submit another RFC to alter the end date, even if we decide about one now. But I do think it'll send a different message - that we think it's going to take extraordinary circumstances for us to change the decision - vs. us saying "we'll wait and see", which at least I would interpret as "they'll probably delay it".
