Fedora 11 release schedule set

It looks like a good plan. As a Fedora user, I think that Fedora really *belongs* at the head of the queue for the traditional Spring and Fall distro release-fest. Most of the distros these days are pretty cutting edge, and the current positioning leaves what is nominally Linux's most cutting edge distro seeming a bit behind on release day. On the other hand, RHEL6 is already going to break the stated policy of 18 to 24 month release cycles by a substantial amount. So as a CentOS admin, I'm a bit frustrated that some of my (XDMCP desktop) users are going to be stuck with the equivalent of Fedora Core 6 for another year. (And am also waiting for a window in which I can side-grade some of my current Fedora users to CentOS.) So whatever it takes to get RHEL6 released is fine with me. If we can get everything back on track in another 10 - 12 months, I think that's about the best that can be done and still cover all the bases.

I really wish there were a RH-centric, middle of the road distro, with a predictable 12 month release cycle, and about 25-30 months of update support. Mr. Santa, bring me a dream. ;-)
