We might have been able to do slightly better, because GNOME schedules
are published in advance and set pretty much in stone. In the end, it's
hard to plan for this though because we tend to slip often with Fedora
(there has already been a two-week adjustment to F20 schedule:
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1095#comment:12)
What really matters is to have the final releases of Fedora and GNOME
roughly in sync (by the way, thanks for everyone involved for making the
shorter F20 schedule work!). It's not much of a problem if there are
small scheduling issues with Alpha / Beta releases, as long as the final
Fedora release doesn't come too late after a GNOME release
and *what* exactly makes GNOME special that Fedora releases
have to follow it?
frankly there are *a lot* of users who don't give a damn about GNOME at all
and release Fedora with pressure because GNOME is ready and accept breakage
on other components (other desktops, server-software, dore-system) because
GNOME is now happy to release *is not* the way to go - period
in reality it would be a good idea to skip a whole fedora release
and use the release cycle for bug-triage
