Re: Fedora Release to slip by one week
Maybe, just maybe, I should be banned from the forum to prevent further thread hijacking in non-chat subforums

Well, that is true - but I generally like to do 'one' fresh install after the release - you know with the hopes something amazing is present in the final that was in not in beta/RC

Re: Fedora Release to slip by one week
Ho, ho, ho.
The impatient among you can always just follow the blocker and NTH bug lists:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers
If none of the bugs listed as blocker or NTH look like something that would affect you, then hey, you can install the latest TC/RC and be happy. That list quite literally covers *everything* that we're left worrying about for the release.

Re: Fedora Release to slip by one week
I only just realised I'm actually running F17 on this netbook right now (with Cinnamon) Seems to work just fine.

ubuntu picks a date and releases it on that date no matter how many bugs the version has unlike fedora that tries to fix as many as possible before releasing. I think the should set the dates a week or 2 later then they would like to be releasing so it will release on time.

Re: Fedora Release to slip by one week
marco: well, yeah. 
cpatrick: the problem is it doesn't really work like that. the developers all know when the deadline is, and it's utterly impossible to get developers to start really caring about fixing 'urgent' bugs until about two weeks before the deadline. So making the deadlines later doesn't make the release any less likely to slip; it just means you're slipping from a later date. =)
