One thing I have noticed is people landing big changes (such as python and
systemd) that break things for a while, delay a lot of other testing. So
that when the bigger changes get fixed up, other bugs get unhidden with little
time to react.

I'd like to see the big changes land a lot earlier, maybe a month before
the branch, so that by the branch most things should be easily testable.
