In other words, this interview with the Red Hat CEO, where he was quoted as saying: http://news.com.com/Red+Hats+next+Linux+due+before +March/2100-1016_3-6146149.html "Now Red Hat is being more definitive. "I'm sure we will ship a gold (version) on February 28," Chief Executive Matthew Szulik, referring to the final version, said in an interview after the company reported its quarterly financial results." was a mistake. There are subsequent press releases which suggest some short delay (I'm guessing 2 weeks) http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/02/05/HNredhatupdate_1.html I remember some article which mentioned a delay because of CD printing issues or some other hand waving excuse.
