This means that chainbuilds are no longer possible and this slows development down dramatically. Think of a feature like Xfce 4.8 with it's tight schedule [1]. E.g. we only have 8 days to build one of the pre-releases. When I made the Xfce 4.4.3 update for F-9, it took 7 days to build everything due to the long dependency chain that required a lot of overrides from rel-eng [2]. This means that large updates like Gnome, KDE or Xfce will get massively delayed after alpha. They might not make it into one of the prereleases, which means they get less testing. A lot of features will no longer be possible in their current state. How do we address this issue?
