Fedora Core "We regret to announce a slip of the Fedora Core 6 release schedule. A few issues are still present that we would like to see fixed before we release: a possible ext3 corruption bug; package ordering issues on multilib platforms (x86_64, ppc64); SELinux issue with updating kernels on ppc platforms; and iSCSI based installations are not functional. There are obviously other issues and bugs still open, but these are the ones that are really 'blocking' the release. To give enough time to fix these issues, we've extended the release date 6 days to Tuesday, Oct 17th. Freezes are still in place (even more so now)."

postponement is good for me

The postponement of FC6 is good for me. I would rather have them do this than plow ahead with a buggy release. In the big scheme of things it doesn't effect me since I can use the development versions of the RPM's with FC5 and I haven't run into any problems yet. I keep a stable version of FC5 running on a spare partition in case of major problems. If you are not interested in testing FC then just use the stable releases and upgrade them with yum to get the stable updates.
