The world does not end during the *weekly* snapshots built during the many weeks prior to release. We're not asking for that - I think even a single 3rd Month respin is a reasonable start. Not any great investment, for potentially good result. > Not to mention--there already is a project to do respins, Fedora > Unity. Ask them how much work it has been.

Finally, even RHEL releases iso's every six months. Fedora should be improving on that, not be satisfied with it. jerry -- To be named later. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
