Not having been exposed to Rawhide until about two weeks ago, I would have expected the "unfreeze" to happen *on* the release date of FC3, not a couple of days earlier. Of course, I can see the point since now that the code is being distributed and the mirrors are being populated, there's no point in a Rawhide freeze any more. Didn't see it coming and wouldn't have predicted it, but can understand it. Spoon-feeding the Rawhide newbies with a quick one-line announcement of such events is a totally unnecessary little detail, which would nevertheless be gratefully appreciated if at some point it occurs to someone to do something like that.
