Chiming in to express my support, and answer Sascha's question:

Yes, it is, in my experience.  You want to keep the overlap period as 
small as possible.  AMS-IX has renumbered its several peering LANs a 
couple of times in the past decade, and experience shows that a 
timeline set several months in advance with a week in which to 
complete the renumbering works pretty well.  Smaller peering LANs that 
may be comprised of less active peers may take longer to reach all 
parties but 180 days should still suffice, and serve as a good hard 
deadline for the process.
