Linus switched kernel development away from large releases (odd/even major numbers) with infrequent release cycles and instead switched to something more continuous - essentially small rapid changes and frequent snapshots to stable. Would the kernel release style be suited to fedora - for much the same reasons possibly. They seem to manage getting big changes in there too. And it would be in spirit with the bleeding edge of we desire in fedora. This mode would be basically always updating and never/seldom installing .. perhaps by some measure the rawhide to stable is similar .. but there are definite differences. As rawhide is not merged into stable ..so our current method seems to resemble the older kernel development approach. Curious what others think
We regularly rebase packages, including the kernel, to new upstream versions after a release, but we do this only after they've received significant testing exposure in rawhide and updates-testing. If you want the bleeding-edge packages, just enable the rawhide repository by default and pray that nothing breaks.
