I guess progress > dictates that all things must change huh?.......just my two cents... "Stable"? Maybe for basic operation. There are tons of bugs, though, and these are just the Fedora bugzilla tickets: http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/yum Also, sometimes "stable" just means that development of the software is stuck, and fixing bugs or adding features has become too complicated or too dangerous. Eventually the developers find that they would like to rewrite large portions of the code or even everything. Meanwhile, there have been new backend libraries, such as package dependency resolvers that are more powerful (with regard to features in RPM that Fedora would like to use), more flexible, faster, simply considered superior by the developers who would like to use them instead of fighting with the aging code of Yum. Whether the new software will become better cannot be said yet.
