Re: [fdn-ann] messaging statement

[Havoc Pennington <hp redhat com>]

I may have confused people, I meant "two releases" i.e. "one from
GNOME and one from Sun" and Bart meant "two releases" i.e. "two from
GNOME". I didn't like having a total of three releases. (You may have
been wondering why I thought three releases created tighter focus...)

Or maybe you knew what I meant. I'm not sure. :-)

Anyway, I'm happy to let the PR experts decide this one.
