Date EPOCH Delta
RHEL-2 = 2002-05-17 1021615200 -
RHEL-3 = 2003-10-23 1066888800 45273600
RHEL-4 = 2005-02-15 1108450800 41562000
RHEL-5 = 2007-03-14 1173852000 65401200
Average Delta = 50745600.000 [ 587.333 days]
Going with the average delta, we have
1173852000+50745600 = 1224597600.
That gives us a possible release date of 21 Oct 2008. Since
the Beta is usually open 4 months before release so beta would be open
21 Jun 2008.
Going with a larger delta we have
1173852000+65401200 = 1239253200
That gives us a possible release date of 08 Apr 2009. The Beta would
then be out around December, and would be based off of an alpha release
of F10.
However, who knows.. we could see a Beta tomorrow.
