Personally, I'm not a fan of estimated release dates of anything
at all, as they almost always are never met in the software
industry
I agree. But there are those who must accomplish real work around the release.
Having estimated dates is a valuable benefit in planning and I certainly
appreciate them. However, I seem to be in the minority in realizing that they
_are_ estimates and that Red Hat is in completely charge of when the thing is
released.
BTW, if it matters, a final release date for next year in mid-August would be
great. Can I make this a feature request? 8)
