48h is very short for people to test such big changes especially for
those who have other occupations than meta-fsl-arm.
Most versions of software in meta-fsl-* don't change very fast so
allowing something like a week for peoples to test doesn't seems a big
issue.

because even a trivial bugfix can contain an error or someone else may
have ideas for a better fix so review is important unless.
And in the present case, you default many boards to a bootloader
version which is not a stable one which IMHO is a not a good thing.
