We are speaking of the freeze date, not the release date.

Release goals are not release blockers, I'm sure you know it. And luk is
part of the release team, so he certainly took into account all the
elements that he had.
While it would be nice to have the number of RC bugs go in the right
direction at the time of the freeze, it should not be a pre-requesite.
When we're not in freeze, I mainly care of RC bugs on my packages
or those that affect me as a user. During a freeze, I try to change my
habits. I'm sure the same is true for others.
Thus I believe that we should set a target date and respect it.
