6 months *worst case* delay, *if* both GNOME and Red Hat stick to

it's possible to have needless 2 year delays.
Well, if we can't afford some delay, release
RHL<whatever-version-numer-it-will-be> with Gnome 2.2 and once Gnome 2.4
is ready, launch a Service Pack or Add-on that will upgrade from 2.2 to
2.4. This will be easier for novice users. Instead of connecting to RHN
to download updates, or even worse, manually downloading the updates,
you download the Add-on, run it, and then, Gnome is automagically
updated.
A single, small ISO image with an Autorun-like feature for automated
upgrading would suffice, I think.
