I get it that life's not fair.  But you (and I) can be fair if we want
to.

OK.  I misunderstood your proposal when you chose to quote off of
Daniel's message about 18 month.  Had you continued from the 9 month
proposal, I would have continued reading, with interest.  I apologize
for misinterpreting your intent.

You misinterpreted me.  I was not talking about any shortcomings of the
work on Fedora Core or Extras.  I was talking about the perception that
many people have about what it takes to hit an 18 month target.  Since
that wasn't your intent, my point was irrelevant.
