I personally can say that the week-long delay significantly diminishes
my enjoyment of backporting patches into existing Fedora releases.

Being able to spend 30 minutes fixing a bug for an user and getting an
immediate feeling of accomplishment is much better than spending 30
minutes fixing a bug and then ... nothing; I could just as well spend
only 15 minutes fixing the bug upstream and not bother to create a patch
for an update.

Sure, the users will get the bug fixes eventually, when a next Fedora
release is made.  Sure, I should be able to overcome my feelings and
just do what is right for the users.  Yet, when I'm deciding how to
spend my free time, it doesn't quite work that way; not always.
