That's very helpful, thanks. One question: Presumably there is a date at which getting tagged with "f7-final" will stop meaning "goes in the Fedora 7 gold release" and will start meaning "goes in the Fedora 7 updates repository"? How is this date decided and what kind of warning will we get before it happens? Also, in FC6 and earlier, the release and updates were stored in separate repositories on the server. Will those continue to be separate, or will they be merged in F7?
