Given the amount of valid bugs received during RC1 and RC2 (compared to the rest of the cycle), I wonder if there's something we can do here: either a bit more time between RC1 and GM, or maybe get more people testing Milestone 7 (by giving it a Beta label?).
many people begin using new version only after RC, because milestone is advertised as "not to be used"!!
May be milestones should be more specific.
let me detail.
Factory is constantly moving, and highly unstable. that's normal.
Milestone should be more detailed. For example milestone 1 could be identical (as much as possible) to stock 11.3 with updates + new Gnome, and the users asked to test specifically Gnome.
Milestone 2 could be milestone 1 + kde... (M3 kernel, M4 gcc...)
I mean inserting new things slowly, to be able to *use* the milestone.
That won't work. We try to limit the things in one checkin round, so that a e.g. FTP tree is published before we take the new kernel - but milestones are too infrequent to limit them so strictly. And while we "advertise" milestones as not ready for production systems, they have a much higher quality than a random factory snapshot. For one the most annoying bugs are usually known.
