Sync? not worth it.Sync? not worth it.Posted Nov 13, 2008 3:12 UTC (Thu) by mmcgrath (subscriber, #44906)In reply to: Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter? by zooko Parent article: Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?
That is very true, Fedora publishes its schedule and tries to stick to it. I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard for the Ubuntu guys to sync up.... But of course therein lies the problem. Who decides the release schedule? The canonical folks don't have a great reputation for giving back or playing well with the ecosystem. What if Ubuntu's schedule slips and Fedora is ready to release? What if it's by more then a month? Two?
It's a "wouldn't it be nice" thought but just doesn't align with reality. The costs are fairly high affecting what features get in, which ones get cut and when. The benefit? PR? Something else? It's muddy at best.

Ubuntu schedule is directly aligned to GNOME's, and so far Ubuntu has always released on schedule (with the exception of 6.06 LTS which was quite early decided).

GNOME schedules themselves were originally aligned to Red Hat Linux.
