Looking at the schedule.... Wouldn't it be better to do the mass
rebuild in Rawhide before the branch?
We always do this, yes.
If we're really looking at a second-half-of-May final release,
that
means beta testing ends the beginning of May, which possibly puts the
window for the rebuild _after_ the beta release (let alone before the
branch).
FESCo has not yet decided the schedule. We should nuke those stupid
DRAFT sections, because they are just confusing people.
If we're going to have a short F19 cycle, maybe this should be
accepted now for F20 and happen in Rawhide after the branch. Or, if
the F19 cycle is to be longer, maybe that's not an issue.
Unless we're really confident that this won't cause problems.
We need to decide the schedule soon IMHO.
