The alpha change deadline is August 14, so I can't really see that
happening. Even more critically, the string freeze deadline is the same
day.
I'm not willing to commit to that, no matter how hard Martin and Jesse
work. I just don't think there's enough time. I suppose beta is
possible given it being a month later, but then people are just going to
complain about major things being done after the feature freeze.

I don't think rescue mode is too difficult to do. We've just not worked
on it, barely talked about it, and not put anyone on the task. It's not
alpha criteria so I haven't been especially worried about it.

Advanced storage filtering's not going to be there for F18 either.
Given the lack of text/rescue mode and other feature is it not best to
delay the "newUI" anaconda til F19 and fallback on using F17's anaconda
instead of presenting our user base with half finished product at best?
