I don't necessarily agree with the OP, but he seemed to me to ask a perfectly sensible question, and basically was told to stuff it. There must be some rational reason for choosing 6 months. Why not 6 years, or 6 minutes? I have been running the Fedora-8 KDE Live CD (on a USB stick) since last night, with no problems at all. [The only difficulty was that it required a last-minute update of F-7 livecd-tools, which I had not actually installed.] But at first glance F-8 doesn't look to me significantly different to F-7 with updates. So it is not entirely clear to me that it was actually worth putting out a new distribution in this case (unlike F-6 and F-7, where there seemed to be major changes). However, I may be talking nonsense, as I haven't looked closely at F-8.
