If what you mean though is the 'rigid schedule' bit, then yes that
seems to be part of the problem. And the move to F18 does mean a big
functional change in the installer, which is what the issue is. It
seems that the work on the installer was inevitably going to take more
time than available in the release cycle, which means the release
needs to slip. No big deal as others have said, but there's no scope
to slip the release by enough time to get it done, so it's been
happening by increments instead, hence the "FEDORA RELEASE DELAYED FOR
FIFTH TIME!!!" headline. That's not an ideal way of working and it
looks like they are now trying to sort this out. I'm probably
massively oversimplifying here.
Fedora is bleeding edge development, I'm not sure that release deadlines
are beneficial.
Maybe instead of Delayed Again headlines could it have a positive spin?
May be for headlines to say "NEW IMPROVEMENTS TO BE IN FEDORA FOR
UPCOMING RELEASE.
