Well we have had 6 releases since the last EL release ... if anything we have sped up. A common questions for people in #rhel is "Why is EL-6 so late?" When asked how they get this opinion they go off the idea that EL-3 was F-0 (RHL9), EL-4 was F-3, EL-5 was F-6 so EL-6 should have been F-9... and now we are at F-12 so EL-6 must be late. [And yes the reasoning boggles my warped mind.. but it comes up quite a bit.] Fedora is by design to have every release to be .0.. that has its point and makes sense. RHEL is meant to be the good old .2 release that people lived by (I worked on a 6.2 box just a couple of months ago..) What seems to be missing is the .1 release where people get an idea of what spaghetti fell off the wall from the .0 and what might be left for the .2 someday. Or that someone who is new to Linux and wanting to get his feet wet but isn't sure if they have the energy for Fedora Drama(TM) . To be honest I am not sure if this is practically possible... it could be the pony, but like any pony lots of people want it. -- Stephen J Smoogen. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp.
