Hi Miro,

Yes.

Release blockers block also beta releases (if the RM decides so).

No, the reason is that fixes can introduce more regressions and those need to
be fixed. If these fixes
are pretty big we would be risking big changes in the RC phase, which we want
to avoid. The idea is that
the fixes to critical problems reported on beta x can be tested on beta x+1.
At the end of the day, this is all subjected to the judgement of the release
manager, and given how many
release blockers we have been getting and how many of these have been reported
past week *after* several
attempts to release the next beta, I have decided to wait.
Thanks. Understood.
Additionally, I am considering pushing the full release some months in the
future to allow for more betas, given
how unstable 3.11 is currently.
Some months sounds pretty big to me. Once the current beta is released, I'd be
great to see some updated release schedule. We have just updated the main
Python version Fedora 37 to 3.11 and we have some deadlines I'd like not to miss.

2022-08-23 - Fedora 37 Beta Freeze
2022-10-04 - Fedora 37 Final Freeze
It would be really great to get something ABI stable at Beta Freeze and at
least an RC at the Final Freeze. If that is not realistic, we would need to
consider a revert.
