And that's why I think we should have a long term release planing like Ubuntu and Gnome. We don't even have a schedule for FC7 currently, so GCC or X.org are not able to align their schedule to our releases... > Already stated why this is a very bad idea.

But a good solution for it might be "We'll ship FF 2.0 as a update for FC6 when it's a bit more matured and most extensions are ported; so at the end of the year probably. Until then you can get it in this special FC-6 add-on repo located on ours servers at ...." >> AIGLX in FC5, > Decision made by the maintainer. That's a excuse I hear to often these days (see gutenprint for example).

No. FC4 shipped with Gnome 2.10. 2.12 was never shipped by FC. 2.14 was in FC5. That 2.12 never was shipped in FC really sucked. > Personally I want to see a more formal update policy. +1 (also for Extras), but there needs to be room for decisions on a case-by-cases basis.
