Do you really not have any idea how much work gets put into the snapshot releases? Let alone something that wouldn't be "snapshot, if it breaks, you keep the pieces" quality, but instead something high enough quality to put the Fedora name and official release stamp on it. You seriously seriously underestimate the amount of work that goes into these things, particularly the QA side. Lets not even talk about how many of the tools that Anaconda uses to install systems change within a release enough to require modifications to Anaconda to work with the new versions. There is a good reason why the "Fedora Project" doesn't spend time on respins. 6 months is a very short cycle between major releases, especially when you consider all the developmental releases done from Rawhide. Adding more compose targets to that mix greatly stretches the already small handful of volunteers and employees who spend their time trying to make these things show up, try to improve the software used for making them, and try to improve the software used for building and testing Fedora. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
