Actually, I agree with quite a lot of what you're saying; I think 21 is too early for this .next stuff and have done for a while. But that doesn't mean that if we punt .next we can release in June. Several teams have been working on the explicit understanding - as agreed by FESCo at an earlier meeting - that F21 will not be released until, at the earliest, late August *no matter what happens*. We cannot change that to June now. It would cause extreme inconvenience for QA and other teams, which in turn would result in a bad release. I'm fine with punting on .next, but I am absolutely not fine with releasing in June. Even if F21 is an old-school release, it needs to be in late August or later, as has already explicitly been stated. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
