QA, releng and anaconda are on a more or less permanent iteration

regular cycle) between FNN Go and FNN+1 Alpha TC1.
I'm going to take a wild guess here, QA could probably use a month of going into a
black hole for starters, as in, en vacaciones, no me contacte. So in reality, that
probably translates into maybe a four day weekend. But how much time do you think QA needs
for "things other than release validation"? So far the push back range is a wee
bit broad, 2 weeks to six months.
If it needs to be six months, fine. But there's also a risk of losing a lot of
momentum with a six month hiatus. That's why I arbitrarily came up with 3 months on
the high end. There are still positives to the Fedora pressure cooker (ANOTHER RELEASE
NAME IDEA!), a.k.a. crazy train.
