That's actually a good reason.  On the other hand, we could look for a
new policy that makes your work shorter during freezes.  We could also
find a second committer when you're on vacation, though that would be
harder.

4 months (120 days = 17 weeks) does have an advantage, in that it's
pretty much synced with the kernel's 9 week cycle if we insert a "leap
week" here and there.  That theoretically means there's no reason to
sync headers from anything other than mainline.
