+<PRE>Le mardi 14 juin 2011 &#224; 02:36 +0200, Bruno Cornec a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> Michael Scherer said on Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 01:31:46AM +0200:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; And I think we can already decide to release 1 week later if a
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; release_critical bug appears. Fedora 15 for example was 2 weeks late,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; because they changed the release date twice after having seen some
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; problem (<A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/15/Schedule">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/15/Schedule</A> ).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I think that the level of flexibility that is really useful. Fixing a
+</I>&gt;<i> target is nice for all projects. Now, if a blocking point happens, it's
+</I>&gt;<i> wise to delay a bit.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I personaly find ridiculous the Ubuntu approach to release at fixed
+</I>&gt;<i> dates, whatever happens, becasue it's 11.04, it should be in April 2011
+</I>&gt;<i> !! But then their community is just angry because of the lack of
+</I>&gt;<i> quality due to that.
+</I>
+They did a push of 2 months in 2006 ( 6.06 instead of 6.04 for Dapper
+Drake ). But I think that was a isolated change, and Mark Shuttleworth
+is pushing for keeping schedule. We were praised because we were not
+late too :)
+
+&gt;<i> So maybe what would be interesting is to have something like:
+</I>&gt;<i> M1-M8: break and fix cauldron with lots of new stuff.
+</I>&gt;<i> M8-M8.5: freeze period. Only bug fixes or HW support improvements goes
+</I>&gt;<i> through or mageia tools. In particular, no new KDE, Gnome, LibreO, FF,
+</I>&gt;<i> ...
+</I>&gt;<i> M8.5-M9: test period. Only bugs found there are fixed. As the cauldron
+</I>&gt;<i> is closed, people have more time to upgrage with an already stabilized
+</I>&gt;<i> distro, to make it really stable at the 9 months date.
+</I>
+Well, that's the plan, with the release date come then the decision
+about the freeze period, even if we got mixed signals here :
+- we want longer freeze because that mean less bugs
+- we also see that people always want to have freeze exception because
+bugfixing is less fun that adding feature :)
+
+So that warrant also another discussion ( even if I think the current
+division is fine, but it could be adapted if the release model is
+different ).
