Also, the comparison with Ubuntu stinks anyway. They had an earlier freeze than we did. They were looking at an earlier version of the new g-v-c. And the based their distro on PA 0.9.14, however the new g-v-c is designed for 0.9.15 which was quite a big update. After all, it's *we* who do the development. Both Bastien and I follow the Fedora release cycle for our development. Since Ubuntu is not doing any development in this area it is very likely that they'll continue to be a few steps behind us unless they'd sync their releases to the Fedora releases. So all in all, comparing Ubuntu and Fedora here is comparing apples and oranges.
