request for review of hardy beta release announcement

[Vadim Peretokin]

Well, it depends on who are you trying to appeal with the new announce. I'm
not sure, but if you're going to appeal to the normal user, saying that
there is more wireless compatibility is a great thing - Linux is known for
poor (yes, not it's fault, but it still doesn't work out of the box)
wireless compatibility. Some people fail to make it work, and give up.
Others shy away from it just because of that.

Reading here (click<http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_24#head-62e9ebf067c978bbf70898986c0aa3904d1a3543>),
it says "Linux 2.6.24 will have a lot of new wireless drivers using the new
stack; 2.3 MB of source files in total:". While the developers/very
knowledgeable people will consider the addition of dynticks, and what else
it had, important, they might be forgetting that
wireless does not work well for everybody. Most people will be much happier
if they're told that wireless has been improved, rather than the Linux
kernel now isn't fixed on a timer and that saves on battery power.

So, please reconsider making the announce as appealing as possible, so that
people can give ubuntu a try (again) after reading it.
