I argue that even during the long test period there aren't enough people doing installer tests..even with the few test release isos. How many people are really going to test the weekly or monthly update respins? And if respins have different bugs than the release isos..who is accountable for those bugreports? If these isos are going to be created by the fedora project itself..there will be an expectation that problems will be address by the fedora developers. I doubt the anaconda developers and release team are prepared to take on the burden of such lightly tested and frequently occuring respins. Sure people can create these on their own and offer them up without the official "blessing" of the Fedora project.. but they aren't necessarily easy to find. How do you make community driven solutions to common annoyances to Core widely available without officially "blessing" in such a way to make sure users are not confused about exactly whom to report problems to. As bad as the release iso can be for some hardware...unmaintained and untested respins have the potential to be far worse. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
