Well, as a Slackware user, I think it's obvious what my position on the fixed date/when ready debate is. :)

A big +1. I want it released when it really and truly is ready.

12.2 is a nice release. I like it. Having said that, I'm not religious about distros and I want Linux to succeed in all its forms.

Get it right, or put out a release anyways, even though you know it's broken.

It's not like they have to catch the X-mass shopping window, or lose business -- so screw the customers and make a big show of "putting things right" in the new year.

I'm not a Fedora fan -- but they're doing the right thing, here. (If Canonical would do this, I'd consider recommending Ubuntu to newbies, again).

If Canonical would do this there would be a lot fewer bugs in their releases and then maybe I could recommend it as well. I have other concerns about Ubuntu but their long string of extra buggy releases is problem #1.
