Subject: One (more) week slip of Fedora 11 Release

A late discovered and just potentially fixed anaconda storage bug[1] has necessitated another week slip of our schedule.  The change is important but invasive enough to require re-validating our storage tests.  We were already late in producing the Release Candidate and there is not enough time to produce another one and validate it in time for next Tuesday's release date.  Therefor we have decided to enact another week long slip of the release.  This gives us time to create a second release candidate and fully validate it and hand it off to the mirrors in plenty of time to sync up for the new release date of June 9th.  As much as we regret slipping, we also wish to avoid easily trigger-able bugs in our release, particularly in software that cannot be fixed with a 0-day update.

At this time we would only accept tag requests for critical issues.
