The real problem behind all this is these packages having made it into
f15 - This should not have happened, QA should have caught them earlier,
should have fixed them or at least have informed these packages' owners.

Agreed, Note my wording: I call this a "delay queue", not a "QA input
queue", because it's effectively a mere delay queue without any

Well, then the same will happen with the beta freeze.
To me, the key would be not to let packages causing broken deps into the
repos. QA should preform an analysis on how they made it into the repos
(In my understanding, the cause this time, was an improperly merged
last-minute mass rebuild of the perl-modules, which due to a change in
rpm's dep-tracking is causing broken deps).
That said, I would propose to immediately push package updates for f15
to testing (spares ca. 24 hours of delay) and to reduce the
"testing->stable" push delay to 24 hours or less.
