Who said anything about 5 months. 3 months max, which is just slightly longer than the amount of time they spend now doing Trac tickets to get something in. > I'd worry about a lot of stuff going stale and smelly in the > middle of the Bodhi process somewhere as maintainers lose track of where > the hell they're up to with the four releases they have to cope with > (the last two already-released releases, the upcoming release, and > "rawhide"). "rawhide" would never use bodhi. If you build in devel/ it shows up in rawhide the next day. End of story.

For people like you, you'd just keep jumping when we branch off the next release. Like it or not, this is happening /already/. dist-f13 already has 953 packages with updates, and it isn't published /anywhere/ for /anybody/ to test it.
