+1000. 

I'd like to propose something somewhat shocking. 

How about we get these things done in rawhide, so we are a release
ahead of things instead of scrambling to get them done at the last
minute all the time. 

Cannot the design team work on F24 wallpaper _right_ now? get it in
rawhide and test that it's all there and then when we branch it's done,
they can work on f25 in rawhide and so on. 

Just a thought...
