that's just the schedule, if the php-next is being late(which can happen,
3-4 additional RC can cause a 2 month delay), that will force us to either
prolong the support of php-old (which would be in contrast with the RFC) or
the dates would start shifting apart.
if the next-next is also delayed 2 month, then it will be only an 8 months
gap between the release of php-next and the EOL of php-old, and I think
that would be a trend, because projects tend to being late.
so I would support Sebastian's proposal, and there are other projects doing
this kind of schedule (debian and fedora comes to mind, but I'm sure there
are plenty of others)
