> I agree. As far as I understand you, the release date should remain
the same, just the time for real BUG fixing should be bigger. Only the
feature freeze will be earlier.

Yes, release date should be normal, Dec, 2006.

But Testing perioud should be longer - because both previous versions
10.0 and 10.1 were released with some annoying bugs left.

In 10.1 - there was one dumb decision, which I disagree with - change
the package-dependency-resolver in the BETA stage. This was a dumb
decision because this was very big change that has negative effect on
the final release, for *all* the users, so 10.1 was both late and
buggy.

I want to make this version more deeply tested.
This means earlier major feature freeze and better bugfixing.

You said about:
- Kernel 2.6.18 (is in RC at the moment)
This thing will be final before Dec, so I see  no problem with this one.
- FireFox 2
- k3b 1.0
Here we must ask the teams when they want to release those.
If they can assure us that they release their software before RC then
we can include their software.
BETA versions are exists for both products.
We must quick-test those BETA versions.
I have quick-tested FFox 2.0 BETA 1 and found no major
bugs/regressions compared to FFox 1.5.

If the BETA versions of K3b (preview 2) and FFox Beta are *more*
stable than previous stable versions (K3b 0.12, FFox 1.5), we can add
them safely, if they are less stable let's not add them in 10.2
timeline at all.

- Gnome 2.16 (ok, that one is released. I don't see a problem)
This thing is final, so I see  no problem with this one.

Bottom line:
If the new software's maintainers assure that final software will be
released before RC of openSUSE *and* current Beta versions are "stable
enough" it is safe to include those into our BETAs.
