But I'm hoping issues with systemd will be ironed out by then and "hopefully" gnome3 will have matured too. Plus F14 support ends in Dec (I think). I try to avoid distro upgrades mid school year. I like to do big changes over the summer. I just upgraded from F13 this summer. Honestly, I'm not holding my breath. I know extending F14 security updates (even just critical security updates) is probably not going to happen. But no harm in asking.
