Thank you to everyone on the rel-eng and QA teams for working so hard on this release. It's a cliche to say, "This needs to be the best Fedora release ever," so I won't say it. :-) However, I do think that we have the opportunity to turn out a really fantastic Fedora 12. Early reviews have been very good, a lot of interest is churning up, and FWIW I think the distro looks terrific everywhere I've tried it. I did want to hypothesize about the unlikely case where people in rel-eng and QA were to come to me and say, "We have the following set of concerns, and we're confident we could knock them out, but someone needs to make a call because we're conflicted about a slip." In that case I have to admit I'd probably decide in favor of a strong release. I know that violates the precept of being time-based. I also wanted to be honest about the importance of this release as a starting point for the things we want to unleash in Fedora 13 and beyond. However, my feelings are just that and this should be a call made by consensus between the teams responsible for the work of making Fedora ready for release. Thanks again, everyone, and godspeed! -- Paul W.
