I am going to try and work this out - plan on doing a better teardown and work through the issues early Jan once this release has settled. We got a few things right, a couple of things went sideways. But I agree, we should aim to turn around a major release in 15 days or less.
The latest https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2946.html which is a critical update for firefox released on the 14th is still not released for CentOS 7 after 2 days.
It appears the core team have lost focus on what's important. The SIG stuff should be peripheral. The altarch stuff should be peripheral. Concentrate on what's important - it's the DISTRO. The rest of it may be nice to have but the important part is the core of the distro. Anything else is just distraction.
I strongly disagree. The overall ecosystem is important and key to the distro as well. For tangible issues, like the distro taking xx days - is something we can work on and try to fix, but lets not get carried away and declare blame based on a limited view on what is going on.
