You'll note I didn't say drag it on ad infinitum, nor did I say we should make it stay that length of time permanently. I said for the next release make it a specifically longer length of time to do development work in. That's all. I'm saying that I think there is room to discuss a different timeline other than the 'every 6 months, release' timeline and I think that given the tasks set ahead for FC5 that I've heard batted around over the last N months that it would be worthwhile to lengthen the time for development for this release. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
