I very well aware that LWN is not responsible for Red Hat's subject line but you are responsible for published Red Hat's announcement instead of [1] which gives good credit to the community's hard work and users patiences instead of claiming it ( which Red Hat is doing in it's subject line )...

> published Red Hat's announcement instead of [1]

The post you point to is nearly a week old, not a release announcement for the beta. Perhaps there is a better choice for a community-generated release announcement (though I didn't see one in a quick look), but what you point to is not it, I'm afraid. We generally prefer those kinds of announcements over press releases (with proper or improper subjects), fwiw.

I'm not so sure where that statement is ( it's not where it should be [1]).

We have an standard operating procedure for it and Jaroslav Reznik should have filled it out ( or someone from the marketing community ) but I guess that Robyn forgot to mention/remind him of it ( he's new to FPM ) since she was to busy cooking thanksgiving for the family while attending the no/go meeting.

It comes as no surprise to me that it happened thou since the lack of communication is after all the theme of this release ;)

This is an idiotic argument, please take it offline with the editors if you feel you must discuss it. For the rest of us -- LWN published a Red Hat press release, unedited, just as they publish a dozen or two items every day. End of story.

Besides, everyone knows Fedora is under Red Hat and many Fedora developers are paid by Red Hat. The Fedora developers who resent this subject line (if they exist) should work on another project.
