If anything, I'd rather see the freezes shortened. With how fast we do
composes and things like that, I do not see a good reason to make
longer freezes. This last freeze was incredibly annoying. At least for
me, it led me to have to wait for my Bodhi updates to merge long after
they've reached karma...

Longer freezes also mean that users who upgrade their systems during the freeze, get
various NVR conflicts due to updates having already been pushed for their stable release
but not for the n+1 fedora and bugzillas start piling up
as it happened on the last freeze. So I concur with Neal here. However that's only one
side of the coin.
If an extra week of testing would provide a more robust release, I wouldn't really
mind.
