You saying so does not a stable release make, if I am misinformed on said point, could you start saying so more often as it would greatly ease my work. A release does not become vetted because we bless it, a release becomes vetted by testing. Seperate but related concerns, I'm saying it's unwise to bless a release without having assurance that it's properly vetted first. Saying we could just dismiss QA is not serving the KDE spin or the image of Fedora as a whole. - David
