Yes i agree we should focus on testing for 11.2 (some of those steps are
already done now just provide usuable beta releases and i think we are
almost done in this area).
My concern is only about this 8 month release cycle (which i agree
because we don't have to deliver buggy stuff in the usual 6 month
release like fedora and ubuntu) is the fact we have to sometimes let the
latest GNOME or KDE out. Other distros are usually shipping those in
time and desktops are usually the "face" of the distros.
One good rule of OSS, release good and release often because it will be
good marketing.
