This only works for things developed in Fedora or for projects like
Gnome, because we are closely following their schedule. Other projects
have other schedules and we need to be flexible. I really like no frozen
rawhide, but IMO we have lost some flexibility for the n+1 release.
There is more flexibility for n+2 but I doubt that anybody will/can make
use of it. We not even have a feature process for F14, so why would
anyone start a feature now?

Right, but upgrading from Xfce 4.8 pre1 to pre2 *is* bugfixing.
