Possible, but not probable, based on the historical record. And even
if not a blocker, tested fixes would surely be granted a freeze
exception.

But therein lies the advantage of a simpler optical only image, less
likelihood for such regressions. And any netinstall can be pointed to
any release repo, so it's not like you must have a release version of
the image - in the worst case scenario you still wouldn't be
abandoned. Further, the netinstall has the installer rescue boot
option.
