Why do we have to go through this for every fscking release? A release is not a release until the Release Engineering team sends the announcement.
A release is not a release until the Release Engineering team sends the announcement. A release is not a release until the Release Engineering team sends the announcement. A release is not a release until the Release Engineering team sends the announcement. They always upload the RELEASE images a day or two ahead of making the announcement to allow them to be distributed to all of the FTP mirrors *before* the masses start scrambling to grab it. The only thing strange going on is a bunch of premature downloading and jumping to conclusions. Personally, I think someone should create a read protected directory named 6.5-RELEASE. Maybe with an ISO of the latest release that is modified to load a graphic that tells people to stop being so grabby.
