I could live with a shorter timescale if I had at least 24h and
preferably 48h notice.

I do think that it should have been obvious that this public
discussion ought to have been done in a more relaxed way.  Extra time
does not increase the pain much.  The public discussion should have
started a month ago, or in January.  But we are here now and trying to
postpone it over Christmas in the middle of it is a bad idea.
