My entire participation in the last long thread was directed at users who have unrealistic expectations of the CentOS release team. One, in particular, thought that 6.1 should be available in less than a month. In the last two years, only 4.9 was released that quickly. Expecting a new release in less than 30 days is unrealistic and leads to disappointment and frustration among users. And suddenly, for a few messages in one thread, I'm "customarily" a troll? I don't post often, and when I do I try to provide useful information. I'm somewhat upset. I think you've completely misinterpreted what was stated in the presentation to which you linked. Protecting your project does not mean labeling every person that you disagree with a troll and blasting them. You've been quite rude, and I hope you reconsider this new personal policy.
R P Herrold reacted to mail that looked like totally unnecessary. I will not get into his reaction, but I was confused why you sent that mail and to whom was directed. I was not able to find a point that was not said, and was wondering why you posted it, then I disregarded it and forgot it. I guess Herrold misinterpreted your post for trying to stir trouble.
I was first to suggest that C6.1 **might** be released in **about** a month from C6.0. Why? Because I suspect that since RHEL 6.1 srpms are already published, devs could use free time, while waiting for QA team to find bugs, to dry-run 6.1 srpms and see how many problems there are. Any having fresh experience with 6.0, they do not need to try to remember what was it that made a problem several months ago, in case of version to version time span. I believe that devs are already working on 6.1, lightly but steadily.
Then everybody cough on that and started endless flame-war.
