Not sticking to release schedules sucks. Don't hold releases hostage for features.
<don=fedora-kde-packager-hat> This would pretty much screw us trying to ship kde4 (as the default kde desktop) for fedora 8 (which *is*, err maybe *was* the plan). </don> My totally biased suggestion: try harder to stick to schedule as much as possible, which means * hold folks accountable to get their sh*t fixed (I know... isn't always possible in an opensource/volunteer world)... or... * drop features that aren't ready. That said, I can totally understand the temptation to push back the release. There's a whole lot of work yet to do to get kde-4.0 into release shape. I'm just not sure lowering expectations (and slipping) will necessarily yield the results you're looking for. -- Rex _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
