Well the way it is right now it's a 'one week by default', unless there
are reasons to extend it, which IIRC was the compromise.  I find it
difficult to believe that had this particular RFC been in an 'accepted'
position back on Wednesday the 23rd, the vote wouldn't have immediately
closed...

In my opinion - based on our actual experience now as opposed to
theoretical predictions which we had back then - one week should be enough
as the default.  But I'm fine going with two weeks.  I guess we'll vote on
that too :)  It's more important to have a definite end date than whether
it's one week or two weeks.
