We're less than a week from the release of Fedora Core 5. We've been
working on a general press release, and we're pretty close to done with
it; it's seen a number of edits from various people over the last week.
It's not perfect, of course, but it's close enough.
So, take ONE FINAL LOOK at:

If you see any GLARING errors or omissions, please reply within the next
24 hours. Tomorrow, we'll freeze this version as the content master.

Nothing in there about the inclusion of gnome-mount? I think the
change from using fstab-sync to re-write the fstab to using
gnome-mount to interact with hal directly to control user mountable
volumes is a significant change in behavior for people in the userbase
who use the cmdline. A large enough change to highlight in every
feature summary, everywhere.. to give as much heads up to the userbase
as possible.
The only mention of the extention of HAL functionality is the mention
of LUKS, and while thats note-worthy addition from a desktop
perspective. I am concerned that the change in hal behavior from
fstab-sync calls to gnome-mount interact will prove to be one of the
technology shifts which the established fedora userbase will have the
most problems with after the fc5 release...especially if we don't make
a concerned effort to give cmdline users a heads up. I fully expect
the communications to be flooded with "where did my fstab entries go"
and for people to be confused by the new mounting mechanism.

Thanks, Jef. I'll look at how to change that.
Perhaps I should also have a link directly to the release notes.

Thats the best resolution to this issue. Otherwise we have to point out
pretty much everything in the overview.

Referencing the release notes would be fine, I just think its worth
mentioning since I'm pretty confident people are going to stub a toe
on it if they aren't looking for it. And we all know how irrational
and angry you can get when you stub your toe on something you didn't
know was there.

Is there anyway the ambassadors can start downloading FC5 now, so that
they can start distributing on the release date?

FC5 isn't ready yet. Pre-releasing it is a bad idea, incease we find
something critical and tell the mirrors to don't release it.
