Once again, congrats to Lae and bon voyage, and best of luck to the future mod candidates!
As for the app cycle question... Hmmm that's a tough one. I can see the appeal of closing it off with matching IC reasons (which I can't wait to figure out WHAT those reasons are), but I also think it might be a bit short-notice given how close we are to the May app cycle. If May DOES end up being the last app cycle for a while, it'd probably be a good idea to announce that clearly on the Test Drive Meme and other places to give potential newbies a heads up.
That said, I think extending the application periods is a good counterbalance, and I trust you guys to handle things well no matter where the cut-off date ends up falling. Thanks as always for keeping us updated!
