I'm on the Fedora-Devel list and there is talk of extending future release cycles to 9 months or so. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I don't see this as a particularly radical release. Not like FC2 and the switch to the 2.6 kernel.

And this is a very late spring release for Fedora/Redhat. Over seven months.

I'm expecting pretty good stability. And with the creation of the Fedora Foundation, I suspect that the timing of the dropping of support for "old" releases might be more user oriented, and less RedHat oriented. (As in "Don't drop support for FC(n-2) a month or two before the release of FC(n)".)

BTW, that last is not really a dig at RH. Just a constructive criticism. :-)
