Since 2006 we've slipped at least 16-18 weeks by my count. That's more<br>

keeps progressing even during a freeze.)<br><br>In the end... we still have two releases a year, its just that each release takes 7 months to do.<br><br>I applaud the Fedora release team for meeting their schedules as closely as they do!<br>
