Fedora Core 6 has been delayed again. "Over the weekend we ran into a few more bugs with Fedora Core 6 that we
decided were important enough to fix. There were some multilib compose issues (wrong packages landing in the wrong dirs), some translation files that would cause tracebacks in things like anaconda (whoops), and a fedora-release package that forgot to enable updates (double whoops). For these reasons and a few others, we decided to respin the release candidate tree and push the release date out another couple of days."

RedHat really is abusing Fedora and pushing people away to far more stable distributions.
Name one that has a MAC equall to SELinux,Exec-Shield,fortify-source,to name a few.
One just needs to look at their release cycle to realize that they have no desire to make sure they release something stable.
As SUSE,it looks normal on the outside yet they bluntly ship a release with known bugs and add them to the release notes.
They need to stop worrying about Fedora eating the RHEL market and allow Fedora to develop properly.
Both are free.If you want "stable" install CentOS or whitebox.It's the service contracts that costs money.Yet can you can official Fedora support equall to RHEL?

Fedora doesn't target the same user base as RHEL.
If anything, CentOS and Whitebox are -really- eating into RHEL.
"so RedHat needs to stop crippling Fedora."
How exactly does RedHat cripple Fedora?

Well, for one thing, you do not find all these critical bugs one day before the release while trying to compile everything. Whatever happenned to release candidates? I shudder to think what bugs will not be caught with the release.

One just needs to look at their release cycle to realize that they have no desire to make sure they release something stable. While many distributins go through a freeze cycle and release multiple beta's, and release candidate's, with Fedora we just have 4 Test releases and no clue as to what they mean. They need to stop worrying about Fedora eating the RHEL market and allow Fedora to develop properly. They are not in the same market, so RedHat needs to stop crippling Fedora.
