Yes, it needs to be finished before the 28th. If that cannot be done,
then consider deferring this change to Fedora 23.

The reason for "tentative" was mostly so we could get feedback from
rel-eng on whether this is actually feasible.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. There needs to be a gap
between branching and Freeze so that things can settle out. (For
example, there are often a few packages that need post-branch updates
for a variety of reasons. Also, the branch process itself sometimes
needs some time to shake out the bugs.
