"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)."

Again?

Didn't they have to postpone core 5 as well? They might as well postpone their release 'by default', because it is getting kinda normal with Fedora releases.

The delay isn't very long, and it was made for good reasons. Better this way than getting more of those ext3 corrupted reports.

I know (i submitted this item), but my point is that if you cant keep to a release schedule it becomes quite pointless.
