And how, exactly is that "somewhat equivalent to being made an issue, 
directly"?

I'm assuming that the general process will be roughly the same; the key 
difference is that bugs entered after October 1 will not be guaranteed 
to block entrance to Last Call.

If there are suggestions as to how the process should be changed, I 
would suggest entering them as bugs on the Decision Policy:
