I didn't find continual testing of the frozen bits all that useful. I wanted
to continue tracking F10 bugfixes especially xorg-x11-drv-ati and kernel
fixes since Dave Airlie was trying really hard to get KMS in shape for the
release and rapid feedback seemed help.

So I think there are three tracks that should be under consideration, not just
two. One is tracking the release, another release plus potential zero day
updates and the last the next rawhide.
