Distribution quote of the week

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.
