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)."

looking at test3, i was quite surprised when they announced the rc1/test4 last week, as i thought test3 was way off releaseable.

i expect they're being extra careful as rhel5 will be based on fc6.

i expect my laptop will be getting upgraded, but the desktop and fileserver might stay at fc5 until centos5 is released around xmas.
