A big part of why I was comfortable with switching to Wayland by default[3] for Fedora Linux 34 was that I was shipping the latest in-development release at that time. Looking at the schedule now, we're basically going to have to sit out of Plasma 5.23 like we did for Plasma 5.20 (we shipped Plasma 5.19.5 with Fedora Linux 33 GA and shipped Plasma 5.20 as an update a month later). Ironically, this would be less of a problem if we weren't shipping Wayland by default now... :P At least it looks like the Plasma 5.23 Beta release is after the branch period, so we can probably introduce it into Rawhide and attempt to promote Rawhide during the beta period... (As an aside, it seems weird to expect that .0 release to be bad...)

We discussed this some more, and we are not in favour of moving forwards for Fedora: Reasons given were: - It either cuts into our beta period, or causes us issues with framework releases. - Fedora has regular releases anyway - It collides with the promo plans above - .0 releases tend to not be a great UX anyway David

We also discussed pushing it back 2 days to make it coincide with KDE's 25th anniversary (and renumbering it to "Plasma 5.25"): https://phabricator.kde.org/T13198#255431 Would that not be possible?

Seems a friendly thing to do. We can discuss it during the kickoff session at akademy.

Can we consider bumping up the Plasma 5.23 release by one week?
Hello release folks! Plasma 5.23 is currently scheduled to be released on 7 October. I've been talking with the Fedora packagers about this, and been informed that if we bump up the release by one week--shipping on 31 September--then they can ship Plasma 5.23 in Fedora 35. Is this something we could consider doing? Nate
