I do not want do dismiss by any means your great work in producing this
so much needed LiveCD, but leave me outline what will happen in practice
and why I think releasing now a LiveCD of Test3 is unfortunate:
- the release of FC5 is due in 4 days from now, this mean it will start
to propagate to mirrors a few days in advance;
- it *will* hit torrent sites immediately after the propagation start,
which effectively will be at the same time with the availability of the
LiveCD;
- a large people will confuse the two, considering the LiveCD to
represent the final FC5, due to the apparent simultaneous release.
You can't limit the spread of the LiveCD and a tag on it stating "Test3"
will not be enough.
