One of the major being, bringing changes to anaconda to handle btrfs which fedora community is wishing to integrate with the distro in a manner to have minimum negative & bug free impact atleast from the installer point of view. Btrfs is also not perfect yet & lots of bug fixing & tuning is going on in it but still it is, I believe the unmentioned target of the release & work is being done to put in place everything before btrfs is made the default fs on fedora. Since btrfs introduces a magnitude of complexities in relation to fs & disks usage, allocations etc, it has put forth a real complicated goal for anaconda authors. I believe, toeing a timeline & not adhering to the goals is better that the time line is foregone for the latter. -- vikram... |||||||| |||||||| ^^'''''^^||root||^^^'''''''^^ // \\ )) //(( \\// \\ // /\\ || \\ || / )) (( \\ -- Established technology tends to persist in the face of new technology. -- G.
