Looking at the trending from Thorsten's list: 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 The nine months for FC5 brought the schedule back into the late-March/late-October flow again. If this is important, I think we all have some possibility of influencing that this stays this way; and I think some influence may already be applied. What I see Thorsten saying is, let's keep applying that influence from the community and from Red Hat to keep aligned with i) a schedule that others can predict more than five months in advance, and ii) a schedule lined up with at least one major component (GNOME). Seems reasonable to me. We can do that _and_ remain flexible -- it's better to make up your mind and change it later than to never make it up at all ... or make it up and refuse to budge from a bad decision. ;-D - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
