I read the full meeting logs from 25/10, and i noticed tmb saying:

"pretty much a cooker snapshot"


I donno how far you're going to take this; but i thought we would be getting a 
new version out ASAP.

in my understanding, we would get a 2010.1 snapshot and use it to build the 
first ISO.

and use the cooker snapshot to get a cauldron.

imo the cooker is sooo unstable and broken, we will not be able to get a 
working ISO from it, that is more or less stable in this timeframe.

eg:
 * KDE
 * glib
 * perl
 * python
 * RPM
 * ...


most of these will get fixed, in time; but what about ALL the packages 
depending on that? most of the packages aren't even maintained...

personally, i'm against using cooker to make a stable ISO 0.

rebranding a 2010.1 will be lots more stable; and maintime we will have the 
time to make cauldron (from cooker) into something good, so we will be able to 
make a release based on cauldron on the 18th of september.

WDYT?
