I think it is partly a time and priority issue. In the past there was a lot of point of maintaining a stable anaconda since it would have little use. Doing that would take time away from work on the development version. So it didn't seem to be a good trade off. Nowadays I'd like to see that rethought. There is more emphasis on people doing custom spins (since livecd-creator makes it easy) and I think anaconda fixes for stable releases have a lot more value now than they did in the past. However, I am not sure what the resource situation is. The anaconda guys seem to have been doing a lot of scrambling to get ready for F11. And there appears to be a lot of work on anaconda being done for F12. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
