FC3 Final: no sound

[Kim Lux]

Nobody has ever mentioned downgrading packages prior to release before. 

Is there a list of such downgrades somewhere ?

Let me ask this: if Fedora Core 3rc5 was the last one anyone tested and
THEN the release team decided to downgrade some packages, when was the
"downgraded" release ever tested ??????

I don't mean to shout and I don't mean to create hurt feelings, but I
really think the release/testing process could be dramatically
improved. 

BTW: I ran a software team that developed about a million lines of VB
for a Windows app.  We weren't perfect either, but we were pretty good.
