it's always difficult to me to express my thoughts in correct english
sentences. therefore it's always a one-sentence-statement, which could
be misunderstood and i believe here also: my email wasn't a complaint !

-iirc- you and all working on fedora are (at least) since mid sept.
under steam to hold this *shitty* date.

why/where is the need to raise this steam by announcing *dates* in a
weekly beat ?

means: take that time you need to release a proper fc6.

i believe the peoples are more interested in quality then in this
release *date*.

and - reading between the lines - yesterday it was notedly (fc5 on
production boxes is at least a compliment to FC5 and all involved people !)

but repetitively slip dates and "draft draft draft" on the schedule site
is honest, but have a psychological effect also.

that all.

okay ?

btw:
i personally have no problems with the running fc6-devel here.
