I don't think we need such a short period for getting new ABIs in.  Five 
months for general development and one month for stablization and testing 
should be fine if we return to having a proper release freeze with no 
major architecture-independent changes, whether or not they affect ABIs, 
in at least the last two weeks of the freeze (unless significant problems 
with a new ABI are discovered late, in which case the normal expectation 
should be to remove it from the release and reconsider in fixed form for 
the next release).
