the F27 timescale, because we don't like to make unrelated

we wait to land the things until after F27 is final, it will likely
be January before packagers can even start playing around with making
Flatpaks of their applications, and we won't have much room for
improvement based on feedback before F28.
Yeah; sooner rather than later seems good. Concretely, will those
infrastructure changes be ready this month? Beta freeze is Sept. 5th,
and right before that there's Flock.
The infrastructure changes are separate from how we advertise this
as
a feature - we could land everything, find that it isn't ready for
prime time - and only advertise once we've had chance for refinement.
(To some extent, that's the plan already!)
+1
We're making a lot of progress, but if we don't have
everything lined
up within the next month or so, we'll of course have to fall back to
landing after F27 is final. As with anybody else planning a feature,
having strictly time based releases has a downside and an upside:
- If you are the weak link, you are kicked off the boat
- But you know another boat is coming soon!
Also +1. But, you know, no _kicking_. More... gently lowered. :)
