Review of Fedora 18 Release Criteria

[Akira TAGOH]

----- 元のメッセージ -----
| As we're getting closer to the scheduled time for beta freeze, we'd
| like to find out now if any of the current criteria or proposed
| criteria
| changes are unreasonable to expect for beta. There may be more
| changes
| for final as we get closer to that but I think that we're pretty
| close
| to being done with the release requirements for beta.
| 
| The current (as of this writing) release criteria are available at:
|  - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Alpha_Release_Criteria
|  - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Beta_Release_Criteria
|  - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Final_Release_Criteria
| 
| There have been several changes to the release criterion lately
| (mostly
| due to changes in anaconda's functionality) and there are still a
| couple of modifications pending (identified at the end of this email
| with links to the most recent versions of the proposal)
| 
| The questions we're interested in are:
|  - Is there anything in the current criteria or proposed revisions
|  that
|    seem unreasonable?
|  - Are there any areas where the criteria are lacking?

I was expecting not to see the sort of locale issues anymore since it's essential technology to support i18n/l10n and didn't doubt we haven't ever had any criteria for that and in fact it wasn't broken in a long time. however it happened and affected a lot of applications and testings. the sort of this issue should be caught up by alpha because of that. in fact it messed up a lot. so I'd like to propose adding something for locales/langauges in alpha criteria.

Though it may be not happened forever. but that would be good to make sure if we won't break it every releases.

Any thoughts?
