Perhaps this date should reevalutated for 10.1.
I don't suspect that the current delays due to the packagemanager issues were anticipated at that point. Not only Gnome 2.14 but also KDE 3.5.2 will likely be released before 10.1 the way things are looking.
In my opinion it would be worth it, delaying final release a week or two in order to include these. Of course I have very little knowledge of the work that goes into this and organizational problems it might cause. Probably Gnome 2.14 is more of a problem than KDE 3.5.2 since this is only a bugfix-release.
SuSE 10.1 could end up appearing "dated" compared to for example Ubuntu 6.04 and FC5.
There will always be a later whatever with any release. If you wait till mid march (GNOME 2.14 hits the shelves on the 15th of March.) then most likely something else will be worth waiting for. That way you can't release any distro. SUSE sets an aproximate date and whatever is ready at that moment, or close enough will be included. I would also suspect that final release would delay with more then 2 weeks. This does not mean I would mind having it on SUSE. I don't even run Gnome (or KDE) so for me personally there is no loss. :-) houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
