Yes, the choice of schedule clearly violates Natalie's Law. :-)

(The original Natalie's Law -- enunciated by Ron Natalie during the
planning for the Great Renaming of Usenet in 1986 -- is "Never schedule

comment that things like Usenix conferences, the World Science Fiction
Convention, and April 15th qualify as holidays for this purpose.)
