My thoughts are converse. IMO, FESCO's decision to branching now was 
prematiure and causes further non-helpful delays and hick-ups in 
preparing f20.


Just one minor item:
  How do you expect people to test f20 fixes at the moment?

There is no f20 repo on dl.fedoraproject.org, there are no f20 mock 
configurations on released Fedora releases in place, mirrormanager also 
so doesn't know about f20 yet, etc. ...

Admitted, these issues are minor, but ... these are causing some amount 
churn on packager side and thus causes delays.
