I'm not pointing fingers at releng here and I understand the work 
involved but I must say that this really saddens me. This project was 
part of the GSOC under my mentorship and my student performed all tasks 
well within projected deadlines for F18 (before the numerous delays). 
All steps outlined in the Spins process were followed to the letter.

The GSOC project as a whole was managed really well this year by 
Buddhike and co. I think the whole Spins process this time round 
reflects really poorly on Fedora's commitment to embracing new 
contributors and is quite frankly a kick in the face to the student who 
put in so much hard work over the summer.
