To understand more about the reasoning behind Fedora's process and release life cycle see Fedora Release Life Cycle. Fedora integrates thousands of always-changing upstream packages, and if we stuck to a date no matter what, we'd always ship with serious bugs, and if we attempted to squash every problem before releasing, we'd never ship at all. We don't follow a strict "ship on this date!" policy, but neither do we wait until every single possible thing is perfect. Fedora Releases Our Hybrid Release Scheduleįedora creates two major OS releases every year, approximately around May 1st and October 31st.
