The merge created quite some confusion. ACLs for CVS was one of the
major things that created lots of confusion already and maybe came to
fast without thinking it to the end completely before realizing it.
There were many other, often smaller details that created confusion in
the past weeks. Now due to a bad coincidence there is the switch to koji
and the freeze at the same time  -- that creates even more confusion and
trouble then before (especially for those that don't follow
fedora-maintainers closely).

It's frustrating and I don't like that -- I really hope we do our work
better in the future after F7 is out and the merge finished.

But well, I assume most of us wanted the merge now for F7 afaics (and
some people that are now yelled at work/worked hard to realize it --
let's not forget this). F7 as target and some delays here and there are
probably the reason for the hectic and trouble we are now it. Not nice,
but happens.

So I'd say let's all be a bit patient -- let's get F7 out the door with
koji and the freeze now and then things hopefully should sort out. If
there are regressions then let's put them at the top of the todo list.
The hopefully everyone is happy again in a months from now.
