The problem is that we'd want to know what the ramifications of the update
are to the release.  What if the fix for the FTBFS causes an ABI break...
but it's also the only way to fix the FTBFS within our manpower needs?
Better to do that before F14 has shipped than be forced to do that after it
has shipped.  I can come up with other scenarios that are similar but
they're all just about identifying what cascading problems could occur up
front rather than defering it to when we have a time-critical update to get
out the door.
