I think there are some real benefits to be gained from consolidating the 
trackers, however I think that tightly binding the release schedules could 
be detrimental to future development of AT.  Perhaps coupling the AT bugfix 
releases with Plone releases makes sense, but architecture driven AT 
releases may not lend themselves to such restrictions.

In a sense yes, but plone releases are driven by different concerns (end-user 
Product related issues) than AT releases, which may soon be driven by the 
need for some fundamental technological changes in the framework.
