In fact, this whole discussion has shown one thing: people still think 
that "bug fix" somehow automatically means that it's appropriate after the 
merge window. That's simply not so. 

That's why i wrote: gain vs risk.

People really don't seem to be very good at the risk management part. They 
see the gain, they don't think about the risk.

Note: not all maintainers are bad about this. But it tends to be my 
biggest gripe after around -rc3 or so - people send stuff that is good, 
but that really has no real reason not to be delayed.

And as long as people talk about this in terms of "bugs", it's a problem.

It would be much better to talk about it in terms of "Does this _really_ 
have to hit the next release? Honestly? Even though we're supposed to be 
in the calming-down period?"
