Why do they even stick dates on these things?
Just say - sure we will probably release it sometime, who's got the luck bet?

But the updates are coming down." So instead of just pushing the release a week or so they instead make everyone install with broken install images, then download launch day patches to fix things. It was when they started doing things like that, that I moved onto Arch and Fedora lol

It's not so bad with Fedora to wait awhile, considering they keep their packages very up to date (including kernels) so you don't need a new release to get newer versions of software.
Also the fact that its a complete 'package' makes it even better. Meaning on Arch my plymouth theme, login theme and desktop theme could all be different and there may not be an EASY way to get them all the same. Is it a big deal? Of course not. But the fact that it CAN be a 'complete package' on Fedora just makes the system feel better. Also it makes it LOOK nicer if I want to show off Fedora to a friend or two.
While I'm definitely antsy to try out Fedora 20 stable (already tried Alpha, Skype and Eclipse were broken, and that wasn't acceptable for what I was doing at the time so I went back to 19), I'm also glad they are taking the time to make sure the bugs get ironed out.
