I've been involved in distribution development for over a decade. I am currently contributing to the release scheduling of my company's product. Believe me, I understand these tradeoffs. And yet, RHEL releases multiple products every cycle. Ubuntu releases multiple products every cycle. We effectively (in the form of spins) release multiple products every cycle. Reality suggests that we manage to figure this out. > >You can disagree with our direction. You are able to make alternative > >proposals.

The evidence simply isn't on your side here. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
