Greetings,
Every few days to a week I check the project site for the release of 11. It cracks me up to see the days just seem to be counting in the wrong direction.
For example, a few days ago it said 7 days. Tonight, we're at 11. Might I suggest the tag line say something like:
It will be release when it's released.

If you had any idea of what is happening behind the screens. If you had any idea of what the developers are doing. Working on. Fixing. trying to make this a good, no great, release, you would troll your way out of here.
Bye troll.

Gee... You mean that you want them to release a 'maybe bad - don't work for a lot of users' release' just so you can have the 'latest and the greatest'? *WOW!!!*
Which just might not, maybe, wont work for you and many others?? Or would you prefer, what most of us would prefer, that they present a release that at least works for most? And has promise to work for those that it does not with a tweak or two??
Crawl back under the bridge Troll. Not a troll? Really Then shut the hell up about schedules that slide for the better of the the masses.
Here's an idea! You want Fedora 11 *RIGHT NOW*? Download the last RC. Install it. And then update it. *PING*! You got it!
Then? The bridge is that way. >>>

If you want it that bad, why don't you want you go on Preview? It's there, ready for you to be used.

Never said I wanted it. Simply commenting on the time slipping away. Y'all (Ok, not all, but some) are reading waaay (and yes, the multiple a's are intentional) too much into this.

I thought I was. However, it's a sad commentary when a comment on time slippage is greeted with pontificated self-righteous gobblety-goop then punctuate with insults.

Thanks Frank. As you have included the original lines of my posting I'll expand on the comment of using something like It's released when it's released".
If any of you (like myself) use(d) multiple OS's (mainly the BSD line) in recent years, you'll remember that release cycles most often can be met.
Some of these OS's (or more precisely Unix-Like OS's) have had issues (as Fedora is now) with release dates.
It's been my experience that some of these OS's have taken the approach that I have mentioned. Granted, that in itself it comes across as pompous yet it does not pigeon-hole any one distro (used here for Linux) to a set date.
I started with Fedora 7 (after my initial introduction to Linux via Ubuntu from being nothing but a BSD munkie). And as many Fedorians do, went into F8 and loved it.
That love affair ended with the install of F9. To me (No flames intended and only MY experience) F9 was a disaster. Every time an update came out (and IIRC - that happened often for the first 2 months) it broke my system.
At this time I was a fully converted Linux nut and Fedora was installed on every box and lappy I had. The terrible experience I had with F9 reminded me of the days when MS seemingly pushed out a bad service pack that appeared to be odd number related (some of you here may indeed remember those days).
To tie this all up neatly - while I have since moved on to a distro where the release cycle isn't nearly as aggressive as Fedora, I still do care and keep an eye on the list.
While I do use (and love) Cent for our servers, I can't commit to it for my desktop. I do look forward to 11 though. It may not be enough to move me back just yet - but I can still hope.
... now maybe I don't appear so Troll-like (granted, I do have hair on my toes).

I'm not sure whether it's the same bug, even after reading that. But I know there's at least one that hits installing pretty hard.
Basically, you have to slip through the partitioning without touching a thing.
That may be acceptable on expendable machines -- I've done it on a couple of seldom-booted laptops -- but I wouldn't want to try on an important machine till I hear it's fixed.

And I think it was a legitimate complaint. Hopefully people will look at what happened and try to see if there are reasonable ways the slippage could have been avoided through better process. Presumably this will come up at the recently announced Fedora Activity day that will occur in just over a week.
The slippage may have been necessary at the time the decisions were made to slip, but that doesn't mean it was a good thing to have happen.

My feeling is that F12 is likely to be a nice release, but F11 is likely to need to grow. I have had a lot of frustrating issues come up during rawhide and while things are mostly in a reasonable state now, I expect people to be finding some rough spots yet. In particular video / X stuff has been in a lot of flux. I expect that between now and the F12 release things will improve a lot, especially for systems using Intel and ATI video hardware.
I'd like to be able to recommend using Fedora + RPMFusion + Livna to my neighbor, but I suggested Ubuntu (which he likes) a few weeks ago, because I thought it would be better (less likely to be frustrating) for a new linux user. This is someone who I think might want to be a participant, not just end user.
(Yes, I'm top posting, but it's only to make this point, and to actually, maybe, have it seen)
Guys, I doubt that he was trying to troll, in this case. It seemed to me that he was simply pointing out something he thought was humorous.
What I suspect is that Chris is not subscribed to the fedora-announce-list, and hasn't necessarily seen the announcements that the date was slipping by a week or more, due to the fixes, etc.
So, maybe we should cut him a little slack?
