WARNING: We don't have a good way of tracking the contigency deadline for Changes with a contingency plan.
This essentially means we trust Change owners to self-enforce.
If you want to make life better, come up with a better solution.
=== Deferring Changes
If an approved Change is not completed in time for the release, it is automatically deferred to the next release.
It does not need to go through the approval process again.
To defer a Change:
* Update the `Release:` field and the `ChangeAcceptedFXX` category on the wiki page
* Change the tracking bug to the `rawhide` version and set it to block the appropriate meta bug.
* Edit the Release Notes issue to reflect the new version
