A few comments for more information. The switch to a prolonged
development cycle for Fedora Core 5 was specific to this release
While we are at the topic already: This fact was badly communicated.
There seems to be a whole lot of confusion about the current Fedora
release cycle in the community -- for example the german
wikipedia-writers have a long discussion about it and nowhere can find a
*official* statement [*1] that the nine month cycle for FC5 was only a
exception:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:Fedora_Core#6_Monate
There was no official statement that the release cycle was permanently
extended either. People just assumed that. Developers have been
communicating that this release cycle was only for FC5 for quite a while
now.
It IMHO would be good if we would have a defined long term release cycle
just as Gnome has. And IMHO it should be in sync with gnome somehow
(just as Ubuntu has, too)[*2]. E.g. The plan for Fedora Core could be:
Always release two weeks after a major gnome release (this would be end
of March and end of September). Yeah, sometimes it could slip a week or
two if that is needed, but the plan for the version after that one
should not slip due to this.
Fedora is not solely focussed on the desktop. Tying it up on the GNOME
release schedule only makes sense if you are a solely concentrating on
the desktop. Fedora Core is more of a general purpose operating system
now. Any proposed change for that needs the buy-in from many of the core
developers. That really isnt a discussion for marketing.
