Much Excitement & Delay Clarification?

[Gord Busse]

Delayed due to respin for several days, will be available as soon as
possible.
 
In the above sentence, what does the word "respin" mean or refer to? And
does "several days" mean two weeks, three weeks, next month or next
week? Sorry, but I am almost bursting from the anticipation of
installing Fedora Core 1.0 final release.
 
Thanx,
Gord

*IMVHO&, what would hasten the process of the final release, would be if
people were to revisit bug reports, or add comments which might assist
the programmers to either close same, or find other options towards solving 
them.

(... just as anxious to see the final product, but just as anxious to see a
relatively bug-free one!)

If you look back in the archives, late last week there was an announcement
that it would be released mid-week instead of Monday (today), so a few days
means 3 to 4 multiples of 24 hours.

Respin means the images are being rebuilt, and because of the delay allows a
few more bug fixes to be incorporated.

Don't confuse "FC 1.0 Final Release" with "FC 1.0 Bug Free"....

If you've been keeping up with the updates, I don't know how much
"improvement" you anticipate from FCT3+updates to FC 1.0

Don,

I know what the definition of "a few days" is. And I now understand that
it should be released Mid-Week. But if you look at
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/ it specifically says:

Delayed due to respin for several days, will be available as soon as
possible.

When you read the above text from the Fedora website it says "several
days" not "a few days". The tone of the above message could mean a few
weeks or next month. That is why I had the question in the first place.
If it had said "a few days" then I would not have asked.

You're reading way too much into the difference between "a few" and
"several".  There's also another thing to keep in mind -- the date at which
a release is widely available is not 100% within Red Hat's control.  There
are delays inherent in dealing with the export control issues as well as
the time it takes for mirrors to synch up to the new release.  That's why
the "as soon as possible" comment is there -- not for some nefarious
reason... :-)

Come on, Ed.  Quit jerking our collective chains.  It's all become very
apparent to us that Red Hat stays up late at night finding every possible
way to manipulate us with these word games.  Your hand has been called;
I, for one, will not be fooled!!  ;)

You have to make some comment about those stupid kids and their meddling
dog before you do that.

or maybe 'You've not heard the last from me!' before you vanish.
