And it was less than 6 months. As can be seen from the F18 release schedule [1], originally it was about 3 months between the day F17 was released and the day new Anaconda was expected to work (F18 Alpha release). We of course didn't start the work on May 29, but since there were significant changes in F17 too at least part of the team had to fix bugs and make F17 releasable. Also Alpha is not supposed to be 100% feature complete, but it seemed to me that not everybody was taking this into account.
