As I understand it, the release engineers came to the point in the
schedule where they had to either release something that would work
on some CD burners and definitely would work for DVD/USB media, or
simply not release a KDE spin of Fedora 11 Alpha. They opted to
make sure KDE users were properly incented to try it out. :-)
ok, that clears that up. and should i assume that i really should
have asked this (and all f11-related questions) on the
fedora-test list? i'm guessing i should have.
