F8 General Availability

In addition to the test releases, the nightly trees will usually be installable.

Historically Test and General Availability releases happen at 10:00am Eastern US Time, which is either 1400UTC or 1300UTC depending on daylight savings.

Schedule Rationale

A 5 month development schedule has been planned for Fedora 8 in order to get into a regular and predictable release schedule with a new release every 6 months. Having a new release on April and October moves development forward without getting distracted with winter holidays and Red Hat fiscal quarters.
