In https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Exceptional_cases,
there is a list of factors we may consider when dealing with last minute or
difficult to resolve blockers. One item on the list is:

* Whether delaying the release may give us an opportunity to carry out other desirable work

I would like to remove this from the list, and perhaps go so far as to include it
as something we _shouldn't_ consider.

There is always an infinite amount of desirable work, and it's tempting to
push the schedule just to get one more thing in. But! Admiral Ackbar meme
gif! that temptation is a trap! Any such additional work increases the risk
of further delay, and actually pushes off getting all the other work that
*did* make the release from getting to users.

If something isn't ready, there is always the next release, and often there
is the possibility of providing whatever other desirable work via an update
-- or through an alternate module stream after the the release.

What do you think? Reasonable? Thanks!
