On my daily job i'm PM and my projects does not postpone, because i've been 
already fired long time ago :)

Managing projects is choosing between what is more important:
scope,
timetable,
CAPEX/OPEX,
quality
and risk

In this game choosing one option means you loos another one, so what you can 
have is maximum two of them. From my experience, choosing timetable and scope 
gives best overall results, because you delivers only important things (so 
called MUST HAVE) and those who left (NICE TO HAVE) are good for new project 
starters.

We are not Fedora, neither Mageia so we can't afford to have more manpower for 
fixing those.

What are yout thoughts on https://issues.openmandriva.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562
There are not kernel debug output, nothing suspicious in systemlogs.
Do you have any ideas how to trace the real problem there, and where to fix 
this? Be my guest.
Waving with magic wand won't solve this.

So why you do not respect plan with which you and all of use have approved?
