Possibly but in the past, there has been a lot of 'clues' in certain deadlines of quality being met and some pre-announcements. It was also that the F3/F6 cycles were longer than the current 6 month release schedules Fedora is on. They usually have split off during the betas of F6 and F3 and had the EL beta around the time F3/6 were released. I think in this case EL-6 is going to fire off on the F10/11 cycle (mainly also because there have been some major changes in F9's init structure that need to be ironed out with a real release) -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
