On th other hand this leads to even more discussion, more flame-wars
and maybe some other ballots that come in in a short time before the
voting peropd starts - which might have the same issues you've just
described. But without a defined time on when a vote starts,
the discussion will never end.

No idea on how to fix that, though. Personally I think having fixed
and known dates is still the best option.
