I always managed to move to next Fedora with either preupgrade or 'yum upgrade' methods, but other people are not always so lucky and hit an air pocket. Right now there is a hectic time for Fedora devs due to F14 testing, so we have to be patient with fixes to prior versions. To be honest I read pretty heated reports about instability of kernels etc on tests mailing list and people saying Fedora is moving too much stuff too fast to be able to digest it properly. Based on my recent observation of my F13 problems and other people's reports I would agree. I mean every dev knows that even in an agreed-upon fast-moving software dev environment it can reach a critical point that can make people (devs and testers) frustrated and demoralized. I would suggest to Fedora boyz and girls to ease, smell some flowers - life is not about constantly running ahead, without a pause, reflection, and enjoyment. I hope they hear us.
