[Jamie Dobbs]

According to a recent post on Slashdot.org Mandrake are changing their
release cycle once again...

a new one-year release cycle, with a year-based naming scheme and (2)
their updated development roadmap. In a nutshell: the upcoming 10.2
becomes a transitional release, labeled 'Limited Edition 2005.' Next fall
will see Mandrakelinux 2006, merging Mdk and Conectiva know-how (and
possibly some know-not?) For the amnesic: Mandrakesoft and Conectiva
recently merged." Not everyone is pleased, though: Tingulli 3 writes "As a
member of the Italian Mandrakelinux translation team , I spent nights
translating some packages to be on schedule for the 10.2 release. I was
quite disappointed when I discovered that a new roadmap has been announced
and that there will NOT be any 10.2 release, without anybody announcing it
to the community."

Some food for thought perhaps? What do people think of Mandrake (yet
again) changing their release cycles and naming conventions?
