it is a very good idea because the overall quality of fedora would
be improved if there would be a larger release-blocking to get
the big changes fixed BEFORE alpha and in the meantime not involved
maintainers could proceed fixing the tons of small bugs and polish
the distribution at all - there are really neough rough corners
involved in the last releases to work on that there is no need
to proceed this way of releasing and starting alpha/beta with
known broken things
.
You argue that serial bug fixing approach is more thorough but given
that in practice we'll never run out of bugs and schedule demands, it
makes more sense to increase the coverage rather than depth. Rather than
sniping bugs, we are machine-gunning them, which turns out better in
practice.
