Yes a lot of work goes into every release - and the slip is only a
week - I am sure that most people can live with that!  Sure there will
be some who grumble but if at the end of the day the slip will make
the difference between a release that causes some people significant
problems, and a slipped release that earns many accolades then the
decision has been the right one.

Many people contribute to each release and although there are
inevitably a number of key people who take charge of the management of
the process and development there are many who make small
contributions but each contribution makes a difference.

I look forward to F13 in my own machines!
