    That’s why delays are expected and are not a problem.

    Ok, even if we don’t call it “deadline”, but “schedule” (fedora call it this way itself), missing a schedule is still a delay.

    This is indeed correct. The dates are by design more fluid than a fixed release cycle. They aren't really deadlines and adjustments to the dates as and when needed based on the release criteria are part of the plan.

    P.S. I actually don’t dislike Fedora release engineering style.

    As does every other major distro. And many minor distros.

    Trying to bring any logic into this forum is shouting into the void, especially when the trolls come out.

    I, at least, appreciate the effort anyway.
