Isn't that's a hard call to make without a list of blockers and their
relative priority and importance to the project?

While I agree that we're trying to create a time-boxed release we do
often consider things "blockers" for the release because we know their
inclusion will be important to the project for downstream usage and
testing.

In summary: I *always* want to release on the day we commit to :-)

Cheers,
Carlos.
