But eighteen kingdoms?  It's roughly 300 items per month.

The Laurel commentary period used to be three months, with one full
month for primary commentary and one full month for commentary on
commentary.  Bruce went to a weird schedule.  Da'ud 2 went to four
months (2 primary + 1 reply), and tried to get it set back to three
months (1 + 1 again) but was shouted down by the College of Arms.
Too many commenters were permanently behind by a month, using the
second month for their primary commentary.

I see one advantage to full month(s) being used in the deadlines: it
allows a commentary group to choose any day of the month that's
convenient.
