I see your point, but I think is better separate the issue of extend these
release cycle,
to start a discussion about how we will manage the release cycle in the
future.
Maybe we should define a time, after 0.102, to review our release strategy.

After ask manuq, and reading other comments here, I propose:

0.101.4 - 04/01/14 - Feature Freeze
0.101.5 - 05/01/14 - String, UI, API freeze
0.102.0 - 06/01/14 - Final release

Now, back to work! We need do good use of this time!
