Distro like Ubuntu and Suse almost never fails there shipping date, what do you think about Fedora's consecutive delays? Doesn't it hurt it's adoption rate to end users?

End user doesn't care about release date or number. End user need stability and predictability. There is no problem with yet another delay in release date of Fedora 18. The problem is that new Anaconda is the worst installer I've ever seen since 15 years of my Linux experience (Windows installers are better!). It's not acceptable that core part of distribution, first piece of software that users of Linux distro "touch" is unusable in BETA version (not to mention that in alpha it destroyed all user's data not by accident or bug - but by developers design). New Anaconda should have been ready months before beta release. Currently new Anaconda is ready in ... 70%, 80%? WTF?
