Not to side-step, but oh well, yeah, I'm going to in a bit. To answer your direct question, it's a tough call, but our (kde-sig) strong feeling that doing so provides the best of what we (both fedora and kde) have to offer, in terms of both stability (yes!) and features. Now for the 2-step... Seems to me a significant amount of the "stability" concerns involve low-level kernel/X (ie, hardcore crit path) type stuff, issues like primarily video drivers, and to a lesser extent, suspend/resume and wireless. In all of these areas, Fedora currently has significant attention and people-power working on them, including dedicated developers, QA/testing, etc... Despite that, if we're still (apparently?) falling short of expectations. Are we doomed, or can we do better somehow? -- Rex _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
