[Fedora-ia64-list] F8 for ia64 now available

[John L. Bass]

Good luck guys, Prarit made it clear I'm barking up the wrong tree
expecting Fedora ia64 to become a stable platform.

		John -- it seems to me that you have a complete misunderstanding of what 
		Fedora is.  You seem to be arguing that Fedora is some stable, robust, 
		and supported platform.  It is NONE of those things.

	You and Doug are clearly here to represent RedHat's controlling interest in Fedora.
	Thank you for clearly setting the record straight about expecting a usable, stable,
	production release from the sanctioned Fedora releases processes.

	Clearly believing the hope RedHat set in the Fedora mission statements appears to
	have been wrong. Sorry for believing the Fedora dream.
