 Working through the F16 QA retrospective here:

 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_QA_Retrospective

 One of the notes is:

 "jlaska - Alpha TC1 - Missed the Alpha-TC1 milestone by 1 week, little to
 no communication regarding status. With only two weeks Alpha ISO test
 time, losing 50% of time almost certainly results in a slip. See rel-eng
 ticket#4844 . None of the Alpha rel-eng release tickets have been filed at
 this time.

 adamw - perhaps releng image compose SOP should require updating of ticket
 with progress info, especially when image compose / delivery is delayed?"

 So: this ticket proposes that the releng 'Composing test images' SOP -
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Composing_test_images - should be extended
 to require whoever is creating the images to post a comment on the image
 request ticket if the compose is delayed, explaining the reasons for the
 delay (so that any other interested party can attempt to contribute to
 resolving them) and giving a best estimate of an ETA if possible (so other
 groups can adjust their scheduling as best they can).

 Thanks!
