Folks, hi. Planning for a specific delay for a specific reason is one thing. But the same design philosophy reasons that apply to Fedora 31 have applied to almost every other Fedora releases, and changing to an annual cycle is going to drive people *nuts* when updates for their particular

Hello, I do not think that we should be taking the path towards Gnome being in one module. This is not, what "modular" means. In my understanding, modules should be smaller, rather independent units, that will help solve some user cases, but definitely not upgrading half of the system. Also, if we

One of the key parts of making a decision to delay/skip F31 is figuring out, ahead of the decision, what the expected experience is for users and packagers. Does F30 have normal stability, or do we try to keep users happy by moving things forward with ad-hoc updates and cross-our-fingers and hope
