The mismatch in the numbering here feels inherently confusing to me.
How about if the numbers were aligned, and then the first Beta target date was called something like "Preferred Beta Target" or "Beta Target 0"?
That would give:
* Beta Target 0 (preferred): missing this shortens the Beta testingperiod, but doesn't necessarily cause the Final release to slip * Beta Target 1: missing this means Final Target 2 is the earliest release date that will be considered * Beta Target 2: missing this means defining new Beta Target 3 and Final Target 3 dates * Final Target 1: releasing on this date requires hitting Beta Target 0 or Beta Target 1 * Final Target 2: fallback release target if Beta Target 1 and/or Final Target 1 are missed
Sure, that works for me. I also appreciate your sneaking in the word "preferred" there, because otherwise "Target 0" sounds like "We know this'll never happen". :)
Thanks Nick, the idea is now implemented in the draft of the policy: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jkurik/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle
