I mean, in the end it would be self-defeating, because the high chance that it would introduce more problems would just mean we'd need to freeze again for longer. As things stand I'm reasonably confident we'll be able to Go next week, so it shouldn't be too much longer. As long as we don't let Kamil test it too hard and find too many blockers, of course. We do tweak the release schedule every so often, right now the freeze periods are fairly long compared to the historical average. I do think that's given us a benefit in terms of how little slippage we've had for the last few releases, though; we could always consider freezing a bit later, but it might result in us slipping more... -- 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 To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
