Hi Chris,

the reactions I'm getting from various board members does not gives me a

Note that we do not necessarily depend on the release. In the past we
did not have the media available for GA ether, it's just that we would
like to have it for our events. There are not so many events in EMEA
directly after release though.

As mentioned before, there already was more testing than for any other
desktop spin before.

What look-and-feel integration? Whatever needs to be changed must be
changed in the individual spin but not in the DVD we want to make of
them.
