You aren't alone.  I'm still not convinced the strict time-based
schedule will work, but most of FESCo wanted to give it a shot.
Rather then be a stick in the mud, I went with "don't be afraid to
fail".

Who knows, maybe it will work out.  If it does, I think it's going to
change some of the things people expect from Fedora in both good and
bad ways.  Good, delivered on time.  Bad (maybe), delivered with less
cutting-edge packages.
