I think we have all of the releng changes lined up for Beta, though another
week would let us get layered image build service in production. I do not
think that pushing 24 out an extra week needs to delay f25 in any way shape or
form. Mostly I was worried we had not followed policy and we have perhaps
not left enough time for developers to get their Beta fixes in.
Thanks Dennis for your readiness as well as for opening this topic. I
will take this as a lesson learnt and will communicate such deviation
from policy in a better way if there will be a need to do such things
in the future.
