People seem to think that the Release Engineering team doesn't talk with
the GNOME/X/KDE/kernel teams.  We *know* when they're planning on going
stable and we work with them.  How do we know this?  Was *ask* them.
Here's a good example.  We took our snapshot for 2006.1 *before* GNOME
2.14 went stable on *any* arches.  However, we worked with both the arch
teams *and* the GNOME team to mark it stable in our snapshot on
architectures who wanted to participate.  Why did we do this? to avoid
this exact situation.

I really wish people would take the time to either ask the Release
Engineering team, or learn how we work before they go off making
accusations against us.
