To find out the reason why, PRC team collect some data to analysis, and here is the result:

Can you send me a list of the Case C recipes, I would like to review if 
we need to update all of them.  As I said in the past some of these may 
be the Xserver and libraries which we do want to update since we went to 
an RC release first.

In other word, in M2 time, we leave 21 recipes (Case B) for M3, but due to new version available after the planning, there are extra 84 recipes (case A + case C) added to be upgraded. Even only count Case C, we can see almost 50% ofM3  to-be-upgraded recipes are already upgraded in M2. This is probably one area we can improved in the future.
