Just little infos about Fedora 18 might you've wait for. The FESCo decided to delayed the Fedora 18 beta release and also the final release.

FESCo, in cooperation with Fedora QA and Fedora Program Manager, decided to push back Fedora 18 Beta Change Deadline by one week due to unfinished/non testable functionality required for the Beta release. For more information (and voting results) see FESCo ticket #946, "Fedora 18 Beta freeze readiness: is major functionality in place?" [1]. Beta Change Deadline/Features 100% Complete is now 2012-10-23. There are still a few unfinished features [2], please update/postpone (to F19) your features before reaching the deadline. As a result, ALL MAJOR MILESTONES, and their dependent tasks, will be pushed out by one week [3].
