Yeah it is. That person could use that time to tweak their file further, or send in new files, if they felt like their submissions were rushed. There is a difference between that and giving someone more time than someone else.

Normally I would agree with you, but considering a shitload of submissions were just finished in the past couple days, even with 2 whole extra weeks, it wouldn't surprise me if the last submissions scraped by barely in time. Since the deadline just seems to be 'whenever you feel like it' it doesn't really matter, though. I guess I'm not used to rules this loose, coming from comps with more rigid submission rules/deadlines/etc.
I'm sorry if my criticism is unwelcomed, but it's really hard not to compare this to other events.
