There is more flexibility for n+2 but I doubt that anybody will/can make
use of it. We not even have a feature process for F14, so why would
anyone start a feature now?
Because often the work of a feature needs more time than the short 3
months we've seen before between N release and N+1 feature freeze. And
often times the features are done or near done by the time FESCo votes
on them, starting early is a good thing.

Right, but upgrading from Xfce 4.8 pre1 to pre2 *is* bugfixing.
Yes, that may be true. It is unfortunate that you'll now have to do a
buildroot override task, but that was a negative impact we were willing
to take. As I said in other mails, if you're seeing a long lag in tag
requests, we can try to grow the list of folks with tag rights to cover
other time zones. Use of koji wait-repo can help here, and nearly
replicate chain-build.
