And perfectly timed, no I am not the slightest bit disappointed that there first was a call
get major changes done before the beta freeze and then the build system gets taken down
without the slightest bit of information. If we are looking at a security issue, fine, but so
far nobody knows as we are not being told. Limited disclosure would be helpful, the current
situation feels very un-fedoraish and closed.

Also I am worried as to how this might affect the schedule for F10 and the deadline for
features. Paul and I spend time tested Mono 2.0 preview 1 to beat the deadline (even if it
would cause limited breakage), it was submitted and right after the buildsystem was taken down
making us miss the deadline. I surely hope we will giving feature owners another week or two
to get everything to settle down otherwise the beta will suffer greatly as well as our final
feature list.

The schedule has been pushed back for lesser things, so I wouldn't worry about that aspect.

I agree, however, that it seems quite un-fedora-ish. Something really serious must be going
on.
