GNOME 2.6 Rescheduled for March 31st

Gnome 2.x
Gnome 2.x

As a result of the recent web server intrusion, the release team has chosen
to delay the announcement of GNOME 2.6 until March 31st.

While we have determined that none of our released sources were affected, we
are showing due caution by giving the sysadmin team plenty of time to finish
their investigation and restore critical services. Apologies for the delay,
especially for all our friends around the world who have organised GNOME 2.6
release parties!

Many thanks to the (now somewhat underslept) sysadmin team and helpers for
their swift and thorough response. Please raise a toast to them at your 2.6
release party of choice. :-)

Of course.....

there are those of us that know that there was no server attack, and this will become apparent in the next few days. The reason this *attack* was announced is simply because there are issues with Gnome that must be resolved prior to release and an excuse was needed.

People seem to be having a hard time accepting this because it is only said to be a week, but in actuality I can guarantee Gnome 2.6 won't be out until mid June. As I said it will all become clear in a few days when the lie unfolds
