Huh? The "heaps" of users do not install Fedora the day of the release. Only 
very few very enthousiastic and very impatient early adopters do that (and I 
blame them for needlessly swamping our mirrors). Actual users, especially 
those most likely to try out and install from live images (as opposed to 
e.g. upgrading an existing release using preupgrade, which pulls in updates 
automatically), install Fedora whenever they discover it, which can be at 
any time of our release cycle.

For example, we gave out a few dozen Fedora 14 live media less than 2 weeks 
ago at Linuxwochen Wien!

And for several practical reasons I don't want to go into here, the media we 
handed out at the event were all GA images, not respins. Users downloading 
the images themselves will probably also opt for the GA ISOs we officially 
distribute, not unofficial respins we do not officially endorse.
