I've noticed some discussion on #fedora-devel about "taking in 
nice-to-haves since the release is slipping."  If these new packages are 
not blockers or critical to the release when/where did we decide to 
deviate from what is stated above?

Who decides what gets in and what is the criteria? Better yet, is this 
written down anywhere?
