The hold up has been getting the rpm changes to the rhel6 rpm tested
sufficiently for rel-eng to be comfortable with deploying it on
builders/compose host. That happened friday. At that point the change
could be announced, but with branching happening tuesday, that would
result in almost no time before branching to try and fix things.

This has happened now. see:

Again, this could have been the case, but then it would be even closer
to branch time. ;( 

Speaking only for myself, I would have been very glad to punt this to
f18, but it's in now.
