Timed releases in general can provide much better predictability for others depending on those releases. E.g. folks working on things to go into Python can plan better how to make sure their stuff is ready in time, and downstreams can much better plan on which Python versions to include in their products and releases.
Having said that, unless there's widespread consensus within the Python developers for timed releases, then it's not going to work, either within the context of those PEPs or not. After the last round of mostly negative feedback, I don't personally have much motivation to push these through.
