I personally planned to watch for a few days to see if any big bugs
were discovered.  It isn't meant as a slam to any of the developers...
Just seems to happen alot with software releases in general.

I think the CVS RPMs being released right-away, and then the actual
release RPMs a day or two later might not be a bad idea.  In some ways
it would be like issuing "release candidates".
