Greetings fellow Fedorans!
During today's FESCo meeting[0], there was discussion around a proposal to increase the freeze period from 2 weeks to 3 weeks[1]. Several members of FESCo thought this proposal might be unpopular with Fedora developers, so a compromise proposal was made: increase the beta freeze to 3 weeks, but keep the stable freeze at 2 weeks[2].
We would like to ask for feedback from the Fedora community about this proposal. Feel free to reply here, or comment on the FESCo ticket. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

If anything, I'd rather see the freezes shortened. With how fast we do composes and things like that, I do not see a good reason to make longer freezes. This last freeze was incredibly annoying. At least for me, it led me to have to wait for my Bodhi updates to merge long after they've reached karma...

Longer freezes also mean that users who upgrade their systems during the freeze, get various NVR conflicts due to updates having already been pushed for their stable release but not for the n+1 fedora and bugzillas start piling up as it happened on the last freeze. So I concur with Neal here. However that's only one side of the coin.
If an extra week of testing would provide a more robust release, I wouldn't really mind.
