No it won't move it to alter point. Suppose you as RM want to have a 
release as late as the 1st of March. So you set, to allow a bit of 
flexibility the date for end of feature proposals for the 1st of 
February and the feature freeze for 14th of February. Now you have 
roughly one week for each dates open for emergency actions. Or you can 
release "early" if everybody is in time, so you can even have a release 
right after the proposed feature freeze date: 15th of February.

No, I didn't. I'm whining already, do I have to beg also ;-)

I don't see the point. If we cannot work in parallel why bother?
