Red Hat does a *great* service to the community with its testing effort.
If there is any way we can better align the community to help please say so now.
I'm glad to hear that if 2.16 comes out in ~June then it will be in Fedora 18.
What about 2.17? Traditionally released on December?
When should 2.17 come out?
Cheers,
Carlos.
