They would, if we would stick to them: FC1 -- 5 November 2003 - General Availability FC2 -- 18 May 2004 - General Availability FC3 -- 8 November 2004 - General Availability FC4 -- 13 June 2005 - General Availability FC5 -- 20 March 2006 - General Availability FC6 -- 24 October 2006 - General Availability Late march only once. I asked after FC5 on fedora-devel if we would stick to "late march and late September" in the future again (+ some delays if needed) and the answer was "no". But if we get our release to "round about late march and late September" in the future I'd be very glad. >>> or more specifically they align their schedule to our releases most >>> often. >> And that's why I think we should have a long term release planing like >> Ubuntu and Gnome.
