What's a few days extra? A few days of extra testing for F9 on the features that didn't quite make it into F8, such as intlclock. Or a few days of testing some bugfixes, such as NetworkManager fixes, in F9 packages before they make it in to F8-updates. With all the "few days here" because of test freezes, we've maybe lost a month or so of testing in the F8 cycle -- out of 6 months.
