I think we should consider whether putting dates on things that require external engineering activity (building implementations or test cases) is a poor idea.  The process seems to require it, but as a wag said, forecasting is hard, particularly of the future.

I think at least this should be unusual and a step taken only after explicit consideration. If it’s formally permitted, we need to say in the process how the nasty case is handled (an exclusion is received after PR publication).
