As for getting GNOME packages the day before a release, no-one's
proposing that. GNOME 2.16's scheduled for release on September 6th,
our current schedule is to release on September 20th. Moreover,
GNOME's feature freezes line up with ours; it's not like there'll be
dramatically new code appearing while we're getting ready to push,
just fixes to the packages we'll have already been testing in Rawhide
for months. I think GNOME has a well-deserved reputation for not
screwing up freezes and release dates.
Our final devel freeze is the 12th. Our Feature freeze is July 5th.
The last gnome release DID FEATURE CHANGES in the final tarballs. This
hurts.
