Given that this is just the proposal deadline, what's the point in being 
so strict? If you are overloaded and/or have already done all the 
reviews by the time the late submission takes place, so be it; but if it 
costs you nothing extra (beyond what it would take for an on-time PLIP) 
to render an opinion for a PLIP that's a day or two late, then why split 
hairs? Since we're not merging anything at this point, it's hardly going 
to delay the release (presuming the later deadlines for review bundles 
etc are met).
