I would argue that it's more like joining the army and having them send
you to the front line with untested, or even known defective weaponry.
Yes, Fedora is designed to be cutting edge, but that doesn't mean that
decent QA should just go out the window.

Then, we have the examples of putting stuff into releases that is known
to be buggy, like the firewire stack.  It also looks like they're doing
the same thing with NetworkManager in F9.  The theory that things will
mature faster if we force people to test them would be more viable if
the recent bug triage hadn't proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that a
huge number of bug reports are simply ignored.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great things about Fedora, but
it's certainly not above a certain amount of criticism.  It's seemed, at
times that this thread would have been more aptly named, "Fedora, love
it or leave it!".
