Well, that would mean no release except snapshots until late March
sometime. Is it a fixed definition?

I've always thought of PRE as; existing code stable enough for wide
testing with possible blockers or future features (up to freeze date).
One of the later PRE being set around a roadmapped date of feature-freeze.

RC being feature complete with no known blockers after the freeze date.

The roadmap can work in nicely with PRE releases, to show people what is
present at any point and what can be expected in later PRE or RC.

We have fixed enough roadmap or merges to do 2 PRE's testing for
blockers with just a few new features in relative 'isolation' while
others roadmapped are being stabilized pre-merge. Rather than the
wholesale change-and-bugfest 3.0 had.
Even if the roadmap slips out to 8-week cycles instead of 6-week, the
order is still predictable with scheduled regular releases.
