Personally, I think the problem is the obsession with regular upgrades to
new versions on a rigid schedule whether an upgrade is warranted or not,
not the fact that they're failing in that obsession. If I have Fedora 17
installed and things haven't changed so much, then just upgrade the
existing version. I'd be just as happy if Fedora 18 didn't come out
unless the move from 17 to 18 meant some huge functional change -- and
then I'd be plenty happy if the good folk doing it waited until all the
bugs were ironed out. This isn't a commercial system where faux version
upgrades are necessary to keep up the revenue stream.

Hello,
I'm seeing that Fedora 18 has been delayed 5 times already, and this post
from Michael isn't looking too good either:

Distro like Ubuntu and Suse almost never fails there shipping date, what
do
you think about Fedora's consecutive delays? Doesn't it hurt it's adoption
rate to end users?
Doesn't really matter from that point of view, Fedora does two
releases a year, one being behind schedule is going to put new
adopters off? They'll just go to the website and get the most recent
version, or off a magazine dvd.
The slippage is a bit worrying, but for other reasons. The discussion
going on seems to be that the process for delaying release doesn't
quite match the reality of what needs to happen. It'll get there, I'd
much rather stuff worked when it was released.
I would think it would better to be a part of the solution than part of the
problem. We all have something to complain about but how many of us will
actually get involved with the solution of the problem at hand. It will be
released when it is ready.
