Noted that it is for 7.2, and NOT for a 7.2 beta test.
No mention of at least a pretence of a beta test, so this time you
are at least being honest.
An ISO is premature - You do recall that we have been publicly
promised a new distribution tree for 7.2 beta, separate from Cooker?
This plainly should precede an ISO, and in fact must already exist
within MandrakeSoft, but has NOT been made public or given to the
mirrors.

I appreciate that greatly.

And no thanks, for me.
Perhaps you know what is going on, but we out here do not. For
example, where does this iso fit in the entire scheme of things?
Will it stay guaranteed frozen for long enough for a testing cycle
(what is that? - say 1 or two months?) And what are you hoping for
from the Cooker community in response? Will the ISO include
documentation of the full list of all the enhancements and of any
changed procedures over 7.1? And particularly list any 7.1
applications or features not being carried forward into 7.2?
