Greetings fellow Fedorans!
During today's FESCo meeting[0], there was discussion around a proposal to increase the freeze period from 2 weeks to 3 weeks[1]. Several members of FESCo thought this proposal might be unpopular with Fedora developers, so a compromise proposal was made: increase the beta freeze to 3 weeks, but keep the stable freeze at 2 weeks[2].
We would like to ask for feedback from the Fedora community about this proposal. Feel free to reply here, or comment on the FESCo ticket. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
How many of the last "long" freezes have happened because of bad software and how much has happened because other issues caused composes to actually test not to be created? We "seem" to spend a lot of the freeze working for an actual working compose before we can actually see what is going on in with the software that people want.
Would it make more sense to just have the Freeze not start until we have a bootable compose? [I realize this is a overflowing stack recursive loop if not defined adequetely define bootable but if QA can't test an install until week 2 of the freeze.. we weren't ready to freeze for packages.
