It is my understanding that the standard protocol for the S&P pit, and many 
others is for the pit committee to determine rollover dates.  The fact that 
there has not been any extraordinary need to vary the date, does not diminish 
the right of the pit committee to control this function.  Thus, there is a 
variable component to this that one should take into consideration, IMHO.
