The world does not end during the *weekly* snapshots built during the
many weeks prior to release. We're not asking for that - I think even
a single 3rd Month respin is a reasonable start. Not any great
investment, for potentially good result.

Not the same, and you know it.
We're not asking Fedora to do any extra "work", just manipulate a few more bits.
Finally, even RHEL releases iso's every six months. Fedora should be
improving on that, not be satisfied with it.
