No, I was thinking of the akademy. We wouldn't have had this "let's short the 
release times because of akademy" problem in the first place: people at 
akademy could concentrate on new features anyways, while still being in the 
final part of the release. We could have possibily delayed the release of one 
week to regain the time lost at akademy, if people would have felt that it was 
still not good enough.¹

Isn't scm-interest or here enough? Anyways, as someone asked (maybe you?) 
during sebas' presentation, not everyone does bugfixing even now, it depends 
on several factors, on each one's sense of responsability, and on each one's 
schedule. And we are just blocking potential contributions.
