Yes, it's that time again...

Although the FC4 schedule hasn't been finalized yet, we do need to try to
stick to the preliminary one until it's decided otherwise.  Fedora Core 4
test 1 is currently slated to come out on February 21st, which means that
I would fall in love with you all over again if you did your part to make
sure the tree was installable and free of broken dependencies & conflicts
by Valentine's Day (Monday, February 14th).

The goal for FC4test1 is to "get something out there" - it may not be
fully baked, but it does need to pass basic sanity tests, be able to
install and avoid killing people's systems. One of the ways non-developers
can help is by trying to install from rawhide and yelling loudly about any
showstopper (i.e. hard disk-destroying) problems.

I'm not yet sure whether we'll have PowerPC included - it would help to
have someone from that team give a summary of the status of rawhide on
that arch.

Cheers,
