You are being judgmental even before making any attempts. It is more 
about effective feedback rather than habits. If you are not willing to 
contribute that's fine.

Incorrect. Read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives. We don't have 
  a strict release schedule and have made several delays before. Even in 
Fedora 7 for example the schedule was changed and a new test release was 
added before some features like the merge was considered a release 
blocker. In a completely time based release structure like GNOME for 
example no feature would block the schedule.

Depends on the nature of documentation. We consider things like release 
notes fairly critical. Usually documentation wouldn't hold up a release 
though.

Incorrect. We have provided erratas before and will continue to do in 
Fedora 7 too. I have made several changes in them after the translation 
freeze for the ISO images in Fedora 7 and they would published in sync 
with the release. See http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/. 
There are ISO versions and erratas available.

In the last release, the release notes were separated from the 
fedora-release package to enable us to push documentation updates.

If the plugin uses those hooks, yes.
