Well, it is the release team speaking, they deal only with the last issue.
And there is absolutely no reason for them to wait on any of the other
issues at all, if they already know what they want. SCC might not even be
under the release team's umbrella, for all we know of the future.
IMHO it is much better to get the release criteria out NOW, and thus let
people adapt and react to it with enough time to actually manage to fix
problems, so that an arch that would not be released ends up being released.

Not really. It just depends on how well the release team knows about what
is going to cause them trouble without the need for SCC insight.

IMHO (b) is quite tied to SCC, and it is better discursed along with SCC.
