It turns out that software development is hard. It's especially hard when you have a hugely complicated system with no central management and no real incentive for most of the skilled workers to cooperate on sections of the project that influence each other. It's nigh-near impossible when you have the same set of people tasked to simultaneously stabalise an upcoming release and do the development work for the forthcoming release. The miracle isn't that Anaconda is taking longer than desirable. It's that it's as close to finished as it is. > > Secure boot support is also not done yet (waiting on the signature for > > shim to get sorted out by legal), though I don't know whether FESCo yet > > absolutely decided that has to be in for Beta. > > And Restricted Boot support just needs to go away!
