If you're so concerned about the potential problems with people "jumping the gun", then COMMUNICATE THE STATUS!! Don't leave people in the dark then act chagrined when people take it upon themselves to seek out what they've been waiting for. I don't care that you don't care that he doesn't care that there are leaks. I do care that you don't care to share what you know with others so that they might behave in a rational manner toward this much anticipated release.

Announcements for 6.0/updates
by Karanbir Singh 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

hi guys, We are getting ready to put the 6.0/updates into place. The prep work brought up a question that needs addressing. There are quite a few different tools that seem to scrape the centos-announce output in order to get update metadata; therefore should we announce every update since the 6.0 release date upstream ? we might be looking at around 5 million emails being generated outbound... if not, what are the other options / ideas ? - KB
