The only argument - we look like fools. I admit this is my first
release, it's a fun one :) but - for F18, we were planning six
months release cycle (+some time for blocking issues, it's 
non sense to release with blockers). But F18 was very different -
but changing the release cycle/planning should happen before.

Also we are still able to deliver very good product, it's always
about compromise - even if we would just scratch all "time based
release cycle" - you can aim on perfection, but we're not Hurd :)
It's always about scope, about resources - currently we do not
have resources to fix this in timely manner - if you will 
volunteer, I'll reconsider. And yeah, it makes me sad we do not
have any stronger i18n teams around that could handle all these
issues - but it's again about resources.

Even my position is called manager, I'm not one - I hope - and
still have some common sense (even engineers are sometimes that
perfectionists;-).

But we are far away from the topics. Let's figure out, how we 
can make the release better (or best when we consider our 
resources) - there are fixable bugs.
