Re: Fedora 18, future isn't too good as it seems :-<

Personally, I think the problem is the obsession with regular upgrades to new versions on a rigid schedule whether an upgrade is warranted or not, not the fact that they're failing in that obsession. If I have Fedora 17 installed and things haven't changed so much, then just upgrade the existing version. I'd be just as happy if Fedora 18 didn't come out unless the move from 17 to 18 meant some huge functional change -- and then I'd be plenty happy if the good folk doing it waited until all the bugs were ironed out. This isn't a commercial system where faux version upgrades are necessary to keep up the revenue stream.

Hello,


I'm seeing that Fedora 18 has been delayed 5 times already, and this post
from Michael isn't looking too good either:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIxODk



Distro like Ubuntu and Suse almost never fails there shipping date, what do
you think about Fedora's consecutive delays? Doesn't it hurt it's adoption
rate to end users?



Doesn't really matter from that point of view, Fedora does two
releases a year, one being behind schedule is going to put new
adopters off? They'll just go to the website and get the most recent
version, or off a magazine dvd.

The slippage is a bit worrying, but for other reasons. The discussion
going on seems to be that the process for delaying release doesn't
quite match the reality of what needs to happen. It'll get there, I'd
much rather stuff worked when it was released.

I would think it would better to be a part of the solution than part of the problem. We all have something to complain about but how many of us will actually get involved with the solution of the problem at hand. It will be released when it is ready.
