Thankyou for starting all this hard work with the certainty that it *will*
be blamed by some people.

As an end User I extremely like that Fedora does not ban newer packages from
Stable releases.

At the same time I can see how direct pushes can sometimes create unforseen
bugs.

I however do not see both scenarios as mutually exclusive - even a tool
issue may fix things - have an option to set have a default push to stable
(offset) date and then packagers can fire away their packages, do their
testing and forget about taking any other actions unless there is a need to
fix some more bugs (or a security issue to force the date closer).

Good luck.
