Would it be possible to have a 'new version' checkin timeout before an alpha release of the Factory? It seams that there are too many new checkins that break Factory lately. It would be nice if there were a short window before an alpha release where only bug fixes were checked in.
I realize that the point of Factory is to keep current with the latest software, but a short period of stabilization before a release does not sound unreasonable to me
There is a short period. Friday is the deadline, the alpha is released thursday the week after. More of a freeze is unacceptable during alpha phase.
Except that we've had limited testing of factory because of the disk outage. It would be nice to have that back for a day or two before we burn the iso.

Do I detect a single point of failure here? I would at least expect a couple of modest RAID systems with multi-pathing to prevent a disk outage, taking into account that the mirrors also depend on the system being up 24x7. Egg on PHBs' faces who no doubt reckoned this system is non-critical. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
