Alpha was done that way the past two times. It didn't work out wonderfully. And by the point you get to Beta, you want all your testing focused on a single tree. So having a Beta tree that nobody is testing before Beta release is pretty pointless. That is one of the major reasons for freezing rawhide, so that you get a single tree to test, triage, and focus bug efforts on. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
