GNOME 3.0 delayed until September

Parent article: GNOME 3.0 delayed until September

For a moment I had really hoped that they'd give GNOME 3 more time to solve all the outstanding maturity and usability issues I'm still seeing in rawhide.

Delaying a release for QA reasons isn't good news, but it's still better than repeating the KDE4 fiasco by releasing code that isn't quite ready.

What maturity and usability issues do you see?

Rawhide is a bit neglected right now, with development focus being on the Fedora 15 release branch. Some packages in Rawhide are actually older than on F-15!

I'd advise tracking F-15 if you want to experience GNOME 3.
