It's not only about releng but QA and other teams - time between F19
and F20 was pretty short. And yes, we're still trying to get into the
pace again after F18 that cost us a lot... But if we really want to
do bigger changes how we produce things, we really need time for it.

For bugfixing - as I said, there's a chance of bigger bundled update
accompanied with QA effort that could serve as a replacement for
regular release (so it could contain a limited set of new stuff too).
