I will take a stab at the first question. Going through all of the open bug reports and resolving them or making the decision that they are not showstoppers and can wait until a later release is a key part of preparing a release. I think that is why that instruction was put in the docs. its been there for as long as I remember, I am just assuming that was the rationale. Its not so much the marking as later and then changing back that's important; its the item-by-item inspection, marking as later in some cases and giving the comunity the opportunity to complain that is important.
