Phoronix: Fedora 18 Is Delayed Again

The Fedora 18 Alpha release has been delayed by another week, which is also pushing back all other "Spherical Cow" milestones as well...

My response In one word: fine.

And this is news how?

Tell us when Fedora is NOT delayed.

Ironically the "Spherical Cow" is a jab at the notion that real life is nothing like how you might model it for eg. release management purposes

actually, we don't often slip two weeks at a single release point. the issue with f18a is the new installer UI, which wasn't really entirely cooked in time. we're hopeful that this will be the last one, though.

honestly, i don't care. fedora is an alpha grade product. if you want reliability, you go for rhel. so fixing a product that's gonna be buggy anyway is a little cynical

I beg to differ.
I've got ~20 Fedora installations around me and I fail to see what makes them 'alpha grade'.
