In this case the "bad feeling" is justified, because there were too many problems too late in the release cycle. It isn't a matter of whether all the known bugs are fixed but whether we can be reasonably confident that there aren't any more critical bugs that haven't been reported yet or have been introduced by the latest updates. Maybe there should be some sort of stability test for core features (eg. no major changes, no more than a certain number of blocker bugs raised) after the alpha phase. > The acceptance criteria should have been present from day one (i.e the > day the feature was accepted) not shortly before beta (which pretty > much limits the time to work to met them). I agree. I was worried when systemd appeared in F14 just before the alpha. Really we should have been much closer to where we are now at the start of the alpha phase, and systemd should have gone in soon after F13 was forked off.
