Correct. We are going through a Beta freeze. Maintainers aren't allowed
to push updates to Rawhide directly anymore and would have to submit a
request to release engineering to tag the update explaining why the fix
is important enough (typically it is small enough as well).

The links from the schedule describe the freeze policies in more detail

If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
